When We Said Goodbye

Fingers stroking over my arm,
A loving look still holding his eyes,
A cast wrapped tightly around his ring and pinky finger

He told me he had a date,
And I admitted the same,
I just didn't say this guy and I had been seeing each other for days

When you are together four years,
You practically grow up together,
And a part of me didn't want to say goodbye

He needed to be free though,
I couldn't tie him down any longer,
Because I had been drifting away for months

We have a mutual agreement,
Two or three months down the road,
It may not be goodbye forever

I told him I still cared for him,
Kissed his cheek,
And we both said, "I love you."

Because we still do,
And I don't think that'll ever change,
For he was my first love

And that's how we said goodbye,
For possibly the last time,
Even though we remain friends

I'll never forget everything he's ever done,
Because I'm forever grateful,
For the four years we had together

When we said goodbye,
My heart broke a little more,
But I won't forget him.

Jeremy and I broke up on the 1st. I called him after I went out on a date with my new friend and told him that I just couldn't do it anymore. I was tired of cheating and knowing that I would shatter him into a million pieces if he ever found out. I picked up the last of my stuff today and this is what happened when I knew I needed to leave to head back home. It's strange after being together so long, but knowing that he may be happy with this new girl makes me happy for him more than I ever could be. He's free and that's all that matters the most to me.
