Goodbye For Now

Bittersweet goodbyes, what do they taste like?
Is it wrong to feel relief in them? A song played on the radio a thousand times. Is it wrong to change the station?

Bittersweet goodbyes, fading into the background while the credits roll and the theme song plays one last time.
Is it okay to fall into them? To trust the sweet in the bitter enough to take one last bite before shoving the plate away for good.

Bittersweet goodbyes. Is it really all that bitter? When where you’re headed is that much sweeter than where you’ve been?
When what you know now will propel you forward to much more than the now could give.

Bittersweet goodbye, goodbye and goodnight, for the time has come to move on. To move forward, to continue the march straight until morning, until this bittersweet feeling fades with the rise of a new day, a new night.
