No Goodbyes

No Goodbyes

I grieve for the loss of what I thought would be
For all the times I had hoped it could be
When my heart cried for more than your company
For the times that I thought we really could be

Although years have passed and we’ve grown apart
Your legacy lives in your boys and my heart
I honor your choices you made at the start
For your two little boys to get a head-start

Now I grieve for our boys just eleven and ten
For their pain and frustration, for this happening
I love these boys and I can’t do a thing
For this time in their lives when they don’t want to sing

I crumble when I look in their eyes
When I hold them tight and I hear their cries
They have no understanding, there were no goodbyes
Such a tragic time when a father dies
