So quickly it began
With nervous laughter
Sweaty palms
Hearts racing wildly
The unknown ahead
So slowly it passed
Difficult days
Difficult nights
Tears and sweat and pain
Awaiting the day
Of the end
The last day of the start
Of more difficult days
Difficult nights ahead
But some good ones too
Much bitter sweetness lingers
In every goodbye
With a wave
Say goodbye to
All of the lessons learned
People met
And things yet to become
We must cherish all endings
However bitter
Or deliciously sweet
For they are final, of course
And now,
Onto something new
