Goodbyes are too loud

They say that gunshots are loud
but have they ever heard the deafening loud bang that comes with a goodbye?
They say a bullet from an M16 is too fast
that you cannot feel it penetrate your chest,
you cannot hear it go past you.
But have they ever seen how fast things wind up when goodbyes come?
We are left in a place, things happening too fast,
trying to tap on shoulders of the right people whom we think are right for us
yet we cannot feel our taps.
Stay close, even when I punch you with my words
Stay close and know that I love you and
I fell for you,
And it took my eyes to open so that I could know the meaning of the world behold.
Be there, just there
My chest is cold and prevents this stubborn heart from beating,
so I might be still but I move towards you always.
This heart sometimes burns in so much worries,
but stay there and melt together with me.
Goodbyes are too loud
Let me never be silenced by them,
Let me never feel lost.
