Ten years from now,
I don't know if you'll remember,
My name or my face
I hope that you will,
Because for me, you are something,
That time cannot erase

You held my hand,
You helped me stand,
And in just a few moments,
You won't be where I am...

So I tell you good-bye,
And fare thee well
Whether or not,
We will meet again,
No-one can truly tell
Good-bye!
And fare thee well,
Thank you for the memories...
That I keep for myself

I know I'll look back,
And I will smile when I think of you,
You know it to be true
I hope that you stay so free,
I hope that you smile,
When you think of me...!

You held my hand!
You helped me stand...!
And in just a few moments,
You won't be where I am...!

So I tell you good-bye,
And fare thee well
Whether or not,
We will meet again,
No-one can truly tell
Good-bye!
And fare thee well,
Thank you for the memories...
That I keep for myself

I know that change happens,
And I know that it causes pain,
And I can say that I really do wish,
That things would stay the same...

But I know that they can't...

So I tell you good-bye!
Good-bye and fare thee well!
Whether or not,
We will meet again,
No-one can truly tell!
Good-bye!
And fare thee well!
Thank you for the memories,
That I keep for myself!
Good-bye!
I'd stay if they'd let me,
So promise me this one thing,
Take a long time before forgetting...

Me...

This was requested/suggested by *frizziekizzie, and while some here will understand what's behind this piece, I leave it to her to discuss it if she wants to.

But even more, this became a piece for so many more, not just her.

Many of you are ending one stage of your life, and beginning a new one, and that is always hard, not everyone you know and love can go with you.

And so the time comes to say good-bye.

Sadly, good-bye becomes ever easier to say as we get older, as more people we know leave us for other things or pass on. I don't think it should, I think that we should all always remember those we love, those that we care about, and those that love and care for us.

Good-bye is never easy, so I charge all of you to say it only as much as you have to.

Say "Until we meet again" instead.
