Goodbye to You

We had a relationship that lasted long,
Unlike others, we managed to stay strong.
And we probably would have continued to do so,
But we made the decision, and it was to let go.

Maybe at first, I was just scared to let go.
Maybe I just didn’t want to go beyond what I know.
Because for so long, being with you became my norm.
I was scared to test the waters, because I already knew “warm”.

But the time had come, it was our time to say goodbye.
Because sometimes there are things that can’t go on with just “try”.
It was painful, it was hard,
But for us, it was necessary to part.

So goodbye to you, goodbye to us,
Goodbye to so many things, goodbye to what was.
I loved you, I really did. And I know you did too.
But maybe we both saw this coming; I think we both knew.

I say goodbye, but really, we’d still see each other again,
Because though we’re no longer lovers, we’re always gonna be friends.
Moving on was not easy, we both knew it’d be that way.
But we knew it was for the best, for us to see better days.

Last Honest Goodbye

So maybe I have been lying

To myself and to others.
Maybe that is why deep inside, I'm still hurting,
Because my heart just really wants to burst.

It has been so long.
I can't even remember your voice anymore.
But still, I feel that something is wrong,
like I left an unclosed door.

And lately you've been in my dreams again,
like a ghost haunting me.
I told myself, I'd move on, but when?
Because until now, the past won't let me be.

I am still waiting, as of now.
Waiting for that day to come.
I may not know when or how,
but from waiting, I won't grow tiresome.

I'd just like to tell you that I know you don't feel anything for me,
and I guess I know the reason, so I'm not going to ask you why,
but I wish you'd say you don't like me, so my heart would finally see.
I just want you to free my heart with one last honest goodbye.

Goodbye

You don’t know how long I’ve been feeling this.

You don’t know how long I’ve been wanting to tell you.

It’s crazy, but, you, I just can’t resist.

But I must, ‘Coz it’s the right thing to do.

And I wrote a poem just for you,

‘Coz I can’t tell you directly how I feel.

To give it to you is what I must do.

So that I can finally move on, for real.

Though it took me an awful lot of time,

Though I kept backing out of many chances,

Though it was a tough and painful climb,

I finally did something more than just glances.

So it is done,

And so it shall be.

There’s nothing else to do but run,

‘Coz your reaction I don’t want to see.

I was expecting to feel relief solely,

Yet there is sadness, and I know the reason why.

This is the end of our yet-to-start story.

This is my GOODBYE…
