GOODBYE


I feel your lips against mine and then you are gone
I watch as you cross the street, red hair streaming in the breeze
Knowing in my heart that I will never see you again
Will never feel your sweet lips against mine
Will never feel your warm body next to mine
Will never wake to the smell of wild flowers as your perfume remains once you have left my bed for whatever the day might bring
Will never look into your eyes and see a universe of hope, of joy, of everything good

Where did I go wrong, what did I do, I loved you with all my might
I never meant to hurt you, nor did you mean to hurt me
What words could I have said that would have made you stay
Could I have held you and made love to you in any other way
I will miss your laughter as we played silly games, hoping that the day would never end and after it did, wishing that the night would never end

Please think kindly of me as you go
And always know that my heart and my arms are here; open hoping for the day they can be filled once again with your shining love
But I know, your last kiss meant good bye
And I know I will never know love again, like the love I knew with you
Never, ever again
Goodbye
