I told you goodbye today

I let you go for good

I finally reached the somber conclusion

You told me that I should

I put away your pictures

Stopped waiting on your call

Kept myself from reading your poem

By removing it from my wall

It hurts like hell to do this

I know it won’t be fun

When you said goodbye to me

It seemed much easier done

You walked right out my hearts door

Carelessly leaving it ajar

Leaving me to ponder

What happened from a far

I am free to move on now

As I have been for awhile

But unable to budge

Still haunted by your smile

I wish you all the fondest wonders

You could ever desire to obtain

But mostly I wish you a broken heart

The way you filled mine with pain

I believe this would be the only way

That I can make you see

Just how much you leaving my life

Has impacted me

I know it’s for the best

But I wonder what could be

If you would only consider

A life for you and me

So I am sending you this goodbye

As a final “I Love You”

I vow I will no longer bother

With trying to see us through
