Goodbye, Honey

[ I wrote this on email in 2016, not sure what triggered it. but I found an email with this. ]

If time would freeze
and I could hold your heart forever
I would hold it close
and let it go, never

but time flows in one direction
and its die is set
the ink has dried on paper
and you have placed the bet

I don’t know what will happen next
for good or for bad
I am a little scared
and definitely sad

but whatever happens baby
I won’t be mad

everything that happens
happens for a reason
I will suffer through this winter
and wait for next season

take my love, take my care
go on to a happy place
I promise in due time
I will try to forget your face
