week 18 (part 2) : the final chapter

Well this is goodbye, the end of you and me
We’ve set this boat ablaze and pushed it out to sea
And nothing that’s on board will survive
This is goodbye

Well this is goodbye, not the kind we’ve had before
We’re out of one more tries, there won’t be anymore
And all the grays have turned to black and white
This is goodbye

This is hard, this is hell
This is pain like I have never felt
This is final, love has failed
This is walking away from us to save ourselves
This is goodbye

Well this is goodbye, in my heart there’s no doubt
Cause I can feel the broken pieces trying to cut their way out
Some of them I know I’ll never find
This is goodbye

This is hard, this is hell
This is pain like I have never felt
This is final, love has failed
This is walking away from us to save ourselves
This is goodbye
This is final, love has failed
This is walking away from us to save ourselves
This is goodbye
This is goodbye

i've made new friends.  embedded memories into my mind.  had some laughs and i've shed some tears.  it is now time for me to leave this place, to close this chapter in my life.  it is very bittersweet.  i'm excited to go home but so very sad to say goodbye to these people who were my family over the course of the last few months.  i know i will never see any of these people again, and that's what hurts the most.  we became close, we were there for each other though the good times and the bad, we laughed together, drank a lot together, got into arguments, and now we all must move onto our next mission in life.  i can't keep doing this, i can't keep living this lifestyle.  i am so tired of packing my bags every few months and even more tired of leaving the people i care for.  i just want to forever be with those who i love, no saying goodbye.  life would be so much simpler.  and boring too, i'm sure.  but this is the gypsy life, the life of a freelancer.  my life.  and this is goodbye.
