With All My Love
Goodbye

I wrote this poem right before a gaming site where many of us gathered decided it was going to close down, permanently,
leaving hundreds of people that had bonded over the years, with no place to go.  It was a very sad occasion.
 


Sometimes the things we’re feeling are too difficult to rhyme, but soon our time will know it’s end - I’ll try this one more time
Thoughts that you find written here are heartfelt and they're true, for many this will mean farewell and will bid you my adieu

Never did I comprehend that gazing at a screen, and messages with fingers to those I’ve never seen
Would touch my heart so many ways I never thought I knew. Friendships made with keystrokes, unthinkable, but true

And now behind this monitor, with sadness and with tears, I cry to know I’ll miss you, my friends of many years
So many of you touched me and I’ll keep you in my heart; a spirit knows no boundaries even though we’re miles apart

Remember all the special times we laughed until we cried, and every time we needed prayers, twas someone to provide
Comfort during hurtful times, encouragement and hope, we all would band together just to help each other cope

 We shared our deepest secrets to those that earned our trust, we learned to know each other through each topic we discussed
We met here during good times, through the easy times and hard, so many quiet chats we shared while clicking on the cards

We argued just like family, because that’s what we were.  Mistakes were made, apologies, forgiveness to confer
The nights that we were lonely there was always someone who, would comfort us and listen and with loving strokes subdue

And if any of you hurt somehow when words of purple read?  I'm sorry that I let you down with stupid things I said.
And yes I know I'm guilty, how I wish I could erase, the many times I said things with no forethought and with haste.

But I really tried you know?  Please stop to comprehend, It's me that sits here fallible on the other side of 'send'
One thing that I will promise and the most important too!  I was honest, I was genuine and all you read was true

Should this poem find it’s way to those that choose this end, you can’t just push a button and put an end to friends,
There are other skies to soar in where your reasons don't apply, until we meet again my friends
With all my love
Goodbye
