A Goodbye

Every goodbye had made me remembered the last day of the previous year. while a good number of people were rejoicing and making resolutions, I was left alone battling with a Goodbye I could have prevented.
Today looks exactly like that very day, I woke up to a goodbye and to putting an end to somethings I had began with so much enthusiasm.
I picked up my notebook in preparation for today's dealings, I do this often when I found the day so inspiring, I wanted to write down a couple of lines that popped into my mind as I view through the window the beauty of a new day.
I was unable to finish the lines when I discovered I just finished using the last page of my notebook. This is significant to me as I began to dwell on seeing the end of things you once thought would last  forever. I got a new notebook by all means, this is because I couldn't wait to put down the lines (who knows they might be of great value to me or someone someday).
Another significant scene came up, I realized I am actually going to read the last page of a novel I started days ago not only that, today is the last day in the month of October. Everything around me speaks a goodbye to me. Like I am getting expired or probably needs a new life, like I am in another fast planet that eat time up so fast.
I was trying to figure out why and how ironically could a day start with an ending.
Nico! Nico! the voice from the gate made me know how deep I had gone into thought.
"You really need to handle this with a strong heart" Zoe said as I open the gate.
I was lost right at the spot, even tho I don't really understand the message she was going to pass.
I couldn't speak a word, all I could do was a stare at her lips as she announced the death of Ali
