IN MEMORIAM

How do we say goodbye?
How do we say goodbye to a bright, beautiful, but fleeting sunset? The bold colors blinding us one minute, vanish the next. How do we say goodbye to something we cannot grasp?
How do we say goodbye to a world that moves so quickly, our voices blend in with the blur of life and are forgotten? Can you say goodbye to the wind?
How do we say goodbye when we can hardly say hello? We build giant, impenetrable walls to protect ourselves, yet they only end up hurting us more.
How do we say goodbye when memories are nothing more than pictures with slight warps, holes and deformities in them? They slowly fade further and further, making us squint, trying to see that beautiful image that is lost somewhere in time.
How do we say goodbye to that which we cannot see? As humans, we foolishly only believe in the obtainable, what we can see, hear or touch. Yet, there is so much more that goes on around us, and we lose something great if we do not take the time to see what is invisible.
How do we say goodbye to that which we do not understand? What we see around us is so much greater than our puny minds could ever conceive, and for us to hold it for that moment to whisper "Goodbye...." in an ear that is so much bigger than even a child's imagination.
How do we say goodbye to a piece of ourselves? If we are with ourselves all the time, carry each part of us infinitely, how is possible that we lose ourselves so quickly? How can we let go of that which bears an effect on our soul?
How do we say goodbye and let go of souls that are intertwined with us and still carry on as if we never knew them? How does life continue without these souls? It is never the same. Their beauty, love, life, light is gone. Their energy has swirled, and danced, and moved, and morphed. Their impact on life has changed.
How do we say goodbye to emotions?
How do we just say goodbye?
How do I, Lauren, say goodbye to you, Mug, and just continue to walk on?
