One may never need to say goodbye until the unfortunate situation occurs. It’s when you realize that the person who is leaving meant something to you. It’s at that moment in time you feel a human-to-human connection with the other person. And it’s at that moment that you feel a hurt that attacks your heart so fast, that you may need a moment to sit and embrace the reality of having to say goodbye.
Even with the knowledge of the separation, letting the words “goodbye” escape your lips is a task so painful, rehearsal of the act may sometimes be necessary. But it’s no hidden truth that no matter how much you run the image of that partition in your head, the reality of it will conjure up more emotions than your body can digest at once.
The air will feel thick and dense and breathing will feel less like something you have to do but rather like something you need to do to survive the moment. You’re heart will beat a thousand different rhythms, and if time were to stand still for just a second, you would be able to feel each and every vibration of the beat run through your blood stream. The colors of the world will appear dull and lifeless. And on that day, the sky will lead an orchestra of thunder and lightning that will produce rain drops that will mimic the thousand different rhythms of your heart beat on the cold concrete floor.
Your hands will shake, your knees are certain to buckle and you will crave the support of a stable object by your side because standing up tall will be impossible at this moment. You will blink and fight back the tears but at some point, you’ll join the sky’s orchestra and let your own tear drops fall. And just when you think you can no longer take the pain surging through your veins, you will open your mouth and that word, that one word, will slip out and put an end to this suffering.
The days to follow will be painful and you’ll regain the strength to carry on. Breathing will return to its normal state, your heart beat to its normal rhythm and the colors will live again. At some point, the sun will come up and the memory of saying goodbye will follow in sequence to all the memories you share with the person who left. And you’ll smile because you’ll realize that sometimes saying goodbye is just really saying “see you later”.
