You hold me.

She stood outside her door, waiting for the footsteps to fade, one last time. Turning back, she stood and let her tears fall, steadily. Unrelenting, they fell fast and hard.
She takes comfort, knowing that this is only the beginning of something new, something different. And that You hold her in Your mighty arms. With that, a smile cracks through the darker clouds.

One day, we'll take bittersweet days
Make them better than before
We'll learn along the way
You were close, always will be
Closer than ever before
Goodbye isn't forever
Tomorrow, we might paint an extra rose.

This is for you, for the days and times.
We've only just begun.
