Goodbye

I’ll never forget your glowing face
Your thoughtful eyes, your warm embrace

The countless memories that we shared
The words you spoke that show you cared

I was as happy as could be
I loved you and you loved me

But that love didn’t get the chance to last
Because you now only exist in my past

I long to see you every day
But there is no possible way

And in moments such as this
To see you is my greatest wish

As this sorrow fills my heart
Tears, I see, have begun to start

Those who say moving on is what I should do
They don’t know, don’t have a clue

They don’t know what happened that night
The noises I heard, my heart full of fright

There are some things you can never forget
And many things that you will regret

If you love each other, let it show
Don’t ever leave without letting them know

If you don’t believe me, I’ll continue to try
Many stories I’ve told could make you cry

The saddest of all about a boy
A boy who’s love filled me with joy

A boy who’s story ended too soon
It ended at night, a night with no moon

The last time I saw him, that wonderful boy
Anger filled my heart, destroyed all the joy

We fought and we yelled like never before
I was so upset, I couldn’t take any more

So I turned to say goodbye
I fought to hold back the tears, refusing to cry

He told me he loved me, but I was so upset
I didn’t say it back, which I now regret

I walked away without saying goodbye
When I turned away I started to cry

I watched him leave later that day
I wanted to apologize but pride took my words away

My heart was still filled with spite
I was upset, still hurt from the fight

As night descended, I wanted to hear his voice
I decided to call him, my heart left me no choice

When he spoke, I couldn’t help but to smile
We made it through one of life’s many trials

I was about to apologize but didn’t get the chance
I wanted to say goodbye but fate had other plans

Make sure to always say goodbye
No matter how hard you have to try

You never know if it’ll be your last goodbye
I learned that lesson when I heard my love die
