It's important to say goodbye...

no matter how it makes you feel or makes you cry.

Never saying goodbye in the first place...

burdens my bleeding heart and it's taste...

of sorrow.

I always always wish I'd done it before by just saying it.



Could you listen to me and hear out what I need to do?

I have to do this for our lives to start anew.

As youths we shared little memories from the past...

but those little memories were never meant to last.

I'm sorry I couldn't be a good friend.

I'm sorry this friendship met its tragic end.

Afterwards I heard that you hate me.

I heard you never wished to speak to me again.

I always always wish to say sorry for what I've done.



Years ahead we met my chance.

I secretly smile thanking God for a second chance.

I was happy to see you once more.

I wanted to remind you of this forgotten lore...

about us.

You never knew I was there.

You never knew I was always right behind you.

Always your back is towards me never looking behind.

Yet I could never say what I wanted to say...

because all this time I was often afraid...

thinking:

Would you accept me and hear my words?

Or

Would you dismiss me as being f***ing absurd?

Who knows what the present you would do.

I ran away never looking back...

but each time I did I'd wait and see if you'd catch...

me to look my in the eyes and say something.

I always always wish to fix the past by never running away.



Look at you, all grown and surpassed.

All I can ever do is to take one final look at you from a distance and try to make it last.

Always your back is towards me never looking behind and...

soon I'll do the very same thing to like you.

What was once there between us is now gone...

because of what I did was all wrong.

No more chances but fortunately no more mistakes.

Very very soon I'll quietly awake...

and walk alone like always with my life so far.

Deep down I know I made you hurt...

but you never knew...

I was hurting much more than you.

I always always wish to clear up these misunderstandings with you.



Now it's time to say farewell.

What I'll do now I can never tell.

It hurts to never hear a single word from you but my name...

but what hurts more is that things will never be the same...

between us.

You'll move on like you're doing right now and...

all I can be to you is a bad memory to forever disappear soon.

All I can be is a shadow from your past under the same moon...

and sun and sky we sleep beneath.

But know that I never meant any harm.

Very very soon my alarm will click and wake me.

Just know this story here always existed:

Once upon a time Bryan says sorry to you.  The end.
