The Other Goodbye
I remember now it was inviting and
How it was exciting I remember now
Here in the here and now I remember how
It had its ugly underside I understand
But I understand what was exciting was
What was real what I feel at this late hour still
It has to be this dangerous to be this much fun
And is only made more beautiful because
Although it had its ugly underside and does and will
And I have slipped and fallen there a time or two or three
That is not where you look if you are looking for me
Since I am here in the here and now to be and to stay
So this is not goodbye this is hello
The other goodbye in another way
I once believed it all works out but now I know it does
And it has to be this dangerous to be this much fun
Although it is the hard way it works out even though
The easy way gets harder at the end of the day
I still believe in miracles because I am one
But it is only a matter of time until I know
Although it is the hard way it works out even so
At the end of the day the hard way is the easy way
By which I mean to pay attention to the in between
To feel the forgotten and see what the unseen was
To be here in the here and now to be and to stay
I once believed it all works out but now I know it does
So this is not goodbye this is hello
The other goodbye in another way
