~strong enough~

Eventually when we part,
And we will,
for life’s journeys continually reach a fork
I know both of us will be hurting,
Grieving each other’s departing.

Goodbyes were never easy to say,
And they will not start to be that day.
Promise me still,
That you will remember my eyes,
And the way they saw you.
Remember when I looked at you,
And effortlessly found grace and beauty in your being.
A light that shone from within,
And a spirit strong enough for you and me

Remember, and remain that way.
And know that you will be strong,
Strong enough to let me go,
Strong enough to carry on
Strong enough to continue to be
Everything you’ve always been.
