Starting with Goodbye
When a beginning starts with goodbye It can be hard to get your footingEverything is one big cryAnd wonder for what are you shooting? There’s a dream and a goal,But stagnant starts your roll You’re on the path, Following the track But goodbyes make you want to crack Missed chances are shown Of ones youContinue reading “Starting with Goodbye”
