Hello

Goodbye to a taste of fresh air

Hello to a wave of relief

Goodbye to a rush of hurting

Flushing out my grief.

Hello to the mirror of my soul

Hard glass protecting the heart

Goodbye to a moment of pleasure

Hello again, we restart.

Goodbye to black and white,

Speeding into oblivion.

Hello to life, in all it's greys,

Truth amidst distraction.

Goodbye to pulling 

Back and forth, endlessly.

Hello to mindfulness, 

Strength and bravery.

Goodbye to losing myself

Engulfed in pain.

Hello to hope, 

To trust again.

Hello my love,

Goodbye silence from each other.

Hello, today, tomorrow

Connected forever.
