The Greatest Fear

I wish I can be there
Before the time you go
So I can hold your hand
And tell you I love you so.

Goodbyes Come In Different Forms.

There are goodbyes that come with commas. There is temporary separation, and then the journey continues.

Then there are goodbyes punctuated by a period. There is no "I'll be back soon", no "see you again", no "until next time". 

There are goodbyes that, when uttered, you just know it's the end.
