~~~Goodbye, Goodbye~~~

It was never so hard to move before.
it was coming for a while.
I knew we were.
I did not want to believe it.
but on that night.
I was happy.
then I knew

Grad was supposed to be happy.
but leaving it, I knew I would not be back.
not next month.
either next year.
I probably would not ever see the inside again
photos of my class.
and my friends class.
parties during the summer.
goodbye, goodbye.
I will never see it again.

Sometimes I go there.
and sit on the monkey bars.
looking at the soccer field
and the sun setting.
the forest I used to go and climb trees.
(never told anyone)
playing silly games
I knew it would end.
during trips.
one more week I said.
I thought I would be happy leaving that dump.
but its not.
so goodbye, goodbye
moving was never so hard.
