Goodbye?

Here I am again, engulfed in the shadows of my soul

My life shattered once more; the pain takes its toll

You said "forever" but now you're with someone new

Once the future was clear, now my vision's askewed



Somewhere in our time I must have greatly failed you

But then again, it seems I lie, I always knew

One day someone better would come and take you from my arms

You choose not to go at first, then I cause you more harm



I gazed into your eyes the first time we were alone

There was something different, foreign, unknown

Before I realized what it was, we had our first date

And now even the mere mention of my name makes you irate



The day has come, and now I must resume my solitude

"You'd be better off without me", I've said; I can no longer delude

I've told you I love you, that is straight from the heart

That feeling remains there even though we're apart



Erase me from your world, I guess that's how you deal

I hope that with time our wounds are allowed to heal

While the journey of life may bring us new joys and sorrows

Take with you this fact; know that I'll still love you more tomorrow
