A TCK Goodbye

I've said a lot of goodbyes. And I'm getting ready to say four more. One relationship began tonight, and may end in a few days, with a TCK that actually understands me. So for all of the goodbyes for all of us TCKs, here's my goodbye.

For moments we find ourselves in complete togetherness
For moments we can share a laugh or a tear
For moments we sit and talk and find our way as members
Of this crazy body
For moments when we say goodbye and part ways
And share prayers and say
It’s okay to say goodbye
It’s okay to turn the other way
But I’ll always have a piece of you.
So shine on you star
Shine on as your spikes
Hit different places and you pull them into your one being.
For moments we know this world is not our home
For moments we don’t know where we belong
For moments it feels like it’s never going to be okay
And share yet another goodbye
As it’s your turn to turn away
But you shared a piece of you with me
So shine on you star
Shine on as your spikes
Hit different places and you pull them into your one being.
For moments we’re on top of the world
For the hug that says it will all be okay
For the true moments of joy and pure love
And the one goodbye we will never have to say
So shine on you star
Shine on you star
Gain some more spikes

And shine on you star.
