Bittersweet Goodbyes

By Bruce Clifford 

Bittersweet goodbyes are not forever

I looked into her eyes, something to treasure

I could carry on for about a week or two

Bittersweet goodbyes are said with gratitude

Floating in the sky the earth way down below

We won’t say goodbye if we could only say hello

Looking down as the city drifts away

I’ll be back, but it will have to wait for another day

Bittersweet goodbyes are not the end of knowing

The kisses and the cries just knowing that we’re going

I could carry on all about the dreams we shared

Bittersweet goodbyes just knowing that we cared

Rainbows and crowds

Pictures of moments

Talking out loud 

Taking on this world

Bittersweet goodbyes are not forever

I looked into her eyes, something to treasure

I could carry on for about a week or two

Bittersweet goodbyes are said with gratitude
