Fade Away

I believe that change is a fact of life

But I do not believe in total perish

Just as almost anything that gets old

Love too sometimes just fade away

To fade away is to not say goodbye

But to simply camouflage like a faded dye

To prefer silence rather than spiteful words

To reminisce someday that there's more good to it than the bad

To fade away is not really to go away
You still want to be there but not in the same way
Just as what was once bright yellow that turns to beige
From lovers to friends; but never as total strangers

So this is not to end but to continue with life
To go on living, loving, and believing; not in strife
Let this not be an end, a farewell nor a goodbye
But an appreciation for everything and for letting me fly
