On Saying Goodbye

It is easier to leave
Than it is to watch someone go,
Easier to ride a train,
Than to watch it leave the station,
Or to take off
Than to watch the plane take off,
To drive away
Than to watch the car leave.
It is easier to watch the stars come out
Than the sun go down.
And it is easier to live the life
Than to watch someone's life.
It is easier to say goodbye,
If I am the one leaving,
Than to to watch you go.
