Our Last Goodbye

For  Peggy

December 17, 2006

How come I Didn't see in Your eyes

This time when you said Goodbye

That it would be Our last moment in time

You lost the Will to try.

How come I Didn't Know

You were about to Just let go

You never let your feelings show

 Yet I thought I knew You so.

And when we said goodbye

And I saw those tears you cried

Falling freely from your eyes

I can remember that last time.

In my mind I hear you say

I never want to live this way;

I know you understand.

Then you reached to take my hand.

Things will get better,

wait and see.

You can always count on me.

I love you til' Infinity

On that with both agree.

We hugged goodbye, we always do.

We smiled and said " I Love You"

You turned your head to walk away

I will never forget you on that day.

Did you know your goodbye was forever more?

Did you know you would never walk through my door?

Did you know it was our last goodbye?

Did you know you left me dead inside ?

Was there something I should have done ?

Was there more I could have said?

Could I have seen but been so blind ?

Could I have been a better friend ?

Did I know but refuse to believe?

Did I really hear that you were in need ?

Were unspoken words your plea ?

I never wanted this to be .

We said Our last goodbye.

I can not hide the tears I cry.

With you, a part of me has died.

I keep asking myself Why.

In my mind I hear you say

I never want to live this way;

I know you understand.

Then you reached to take my hand.

How come I Didn't see in Your eyes

This time when you said Goodbye

That it would be Our last moment in time

You lost the Will to try.

This was Our Last Goodbye.

* Special Note

Earlier in the Holiday Season

I sent each and everyone I knew a message.

That message was about Depression and how hard

The holidays in general can effect some people.

I even spoke about suicide and offered advice to reach out

to those people we  may come across that are In trouble.

Well, I have failed to heed my  very own warnings and advice.

On December 16th after spending an afternoon

with A friend who I loved  very much, 

She left my home and My life forever.

The following morning her life was ended.

Did I know she was depressed?

Yes I did.

Did I ever believe she would take her own life ?

Never In a million Years.

Did I really do enough ?

The answer is a loud and harsh No.

An answer 

I will have to live with for the rest of my life.

Sometimes we just cant be there.

Sometimes we just cant ignore peoples cries of despair,

thinking they will get past it.

If something just doesn't feel right,

Chances are it isn't Right.

You have to open your mind and heart to

every possible scenario.

If you are wrong....Thank God.

If you are Right....Double Thank God.

Because You just may be the one deciding difference

Between Life and Death .

Treasure those you love this Holiday Season.

Life is a Treasure.
