Goodbye to the Angel

For You, James. I Will Always Remember You, But Until You're Ready . . .
Here We Go:

Though it was so beautiful,
and no matter who you tell it to, that
you love me.
I know it was so wonderful,
but I'm not going under for
you, baby.

I don't want to see you cry,
the way you did one thousand times, when
you loved me.
And I don't want to say goodbye
but I don't want to say a lie, to
you, baby.

It has been so long a time,
you claim I haven't dropped a line, and
I haven't.
For if I see you once again,
I will want to be your friend,
and I can't.

Because our friendship's something of . . .
some kind of forbidden love,
and we can't.
'Cause the angels claimed us to be
soul mates for eternity,
and we're not.

I'm fine with having to rip my heart,
as long as we are kept apart . . .
I'm sorry.
But someday when the angels sing,
we'll come together once again, just . . .
wait for me ♥
