The Last Goodbye

The hardest break-up of all

By Ryan BurkeyPublished about a year ago 1 min read

“The time has come, precious little one,

For us to go separate ways”

“But I don’t want to leave, mom”

“I know you don’t want to,

But you must, my son

It’s nature’s way

To move on,

Let go,

Free”
