How am I supposed to say goodbye when his coat is hanging in my closet? When I pass his room every time I go to the Rainsworth mansion? When I have to hold back tears every time I see a bowl of candy? When I realize I would never be where I am today without him?

How am I supposed to say goodbye when I carry the same scars on my heart that he did? When we shared

physical scars as well? When I feel guilty if I laugh because I know he won't get that chance again? When I can't look Sharon, or Reim in the eye because I think of him?

How am I supposed to say goodbye when I dream about him? When I can't forget the way his hand felt on the

small of my back the first time we danced together? When I know I will never feel the warmth of the hugs he gave me every time I showed a hint of being upset? When I know the pain in my chest is because of him? When I know I never appreciated him enough?

How am I supposed to say goodbye when the color red will always remind me of his eye? That one eye he

treasured so much that was robbed of its vision. When I have to look over my shoulder to make sure he didn't sneak into the room and remember that that will never happen again? When I regret every insult I hurled at him every second of the day?

How am I supposed to say goodbye… when I know that saying goodbye… is the same as saying the end?
