Goodbye has become a common place
Where I lay to rest dreams and desires.
When I add to the collection,
I tend to browse the aisles and smile
At the memories that once haunted me.
I unpack my expectations and lay down burdens.
You never see hopes and fantasies as baggage
Until those you built them on bid adieu.
They're so much heavier when you carry them alone.
But alas, lifted weight is truly a blessing.
Even though you float away from
All you ever thought you wanted,
A lifted, changed perspective
Allows for an enlightened view
Of all the beauty you missed along the way.
