Tonight I was sitting here reading all of your posts, and I felt this really overwhelming urge to write. And so I wrote something faster than I have ever written before. I think this should probably go in the Fan Art section maybe, but I realllly wanted people to read it, and I knew it would get more exposure here. So here it is. I just felt VERY compelled to write this, and post it as soon as it was finished. I finished this literally 3 minutes ago...Sorry for the length.
PS. I am in no way trying to put 'words' in Michael's mouth. This just came to me very suddenly and flowed so freely on to paper that I felt like I REALLy needed to share it.
'Not Good Bye, See You Later...'
There is nothing left for me to do here,
and there is nothing left for me to say.
I have so much left to live for,
that I couldn't fit in to one more day.
I had a sell out tour of fifty dates,
and my children to introduce to my music.
But with all of that taken from me,
you would think that I would 'lose it'.
But it seems I haven't 'lost' a thing,
in fact, I think I have gained.
I've been given back all my special moments,
that is better than any of my fame.
The things I thought I needed the most,
turns out in fact, it seems, I don't.
The things I thought that I'd forgot,
turns out, it seems, that I have not.
And what I had here waiting for me,
was my entire family.
Not them all, they're not all here.
I miss them so, but someone whispered,
"Please have patience" in my ear.
Still know that I'm not alone,
here I've found many a willing hand to hold.
I've gathered strengh I didn't know I had,
to hold my emotions when my kids spoke of 'their dad'.
I filled up with such great pride,
at the dignity I saw with everyone's 'Good Bye's.
And though, just for now, we've parted ways,
my heart won't break, and my glove won't wave.
I, myself, won't say good bye.
There is no reason for the tears you cry.
I'm here with you, though you can't see.
Open your ears, listen, I'm speaking here freely.
And I know you miss me,
I can feel it.
But don't be sad, or dwell on it.
I don't want to see a single fan cry,
or crane their head to stare at the sky.
I'm not there, because I am with you here...
I'm in your eyes, when you look in the mirror.
A little piece of me will always be with you,
if you were touched by what I do.
And so I leave here with no good bye,
and I imagine that you will ask me, "why?"
Good byes you see, are for when you are gone
and don't know at all when you will return.
I am here with you, at each corner, and every turn.
So I'll tell you, "I'll see you later!"
Because indeed I surely will.
I'll be there for you from the bottom,
to the top of every hill.
Through the darkness of the night,
to the bright of every morning.
When you feel the warmth inside your heart,
that compells you to keep going.
Know it's me, and just know that my heart is warm here too.
My dreams and aspirations, never will they die.
My vision will never be blinded,
My hopes are forever high.
There is nothing more that I could wish,
or ask of anyone.
With all my fans my love remains,
my legacy will carry on.
