Goodbye My Love

I had no idea what it was like to be in love...

Then from across the sands of time

You came, my prince with gallons of love!

Our days together were blissful thereafter

Every thought shared, every smile treasured

Every tear wiped and every secret each other's'.

But isn't life anything but predictable?

Everything went wrong in an eye's blink

And you left as quietly as you came,

Without even telling me what to do

Without the world that was you!

 

Trust me, its hurts less to get killed

Than live this way...

You are really gone, aren't you?

As I rot in my own hell, I ask why?

As I choke on my own tears,

As I die a little every day,

I realize it was all a lie.

Yes, now I know that,

You didn’t even look back once.

 

I know I should hate you

For what you have done

For everything you took away.

For the heart you broke,

The soul you crushed,

The dreams you tainted,

The corpse you left.

But alas, I don't.

 

I still love you,

It is still your scent that I breathe,

Your face that I search in every crowd

Your eyes in which I hide every time

When I am scared to look ahead.

It hurts so much that I still love you

As you don't deserve it anymore.

 

Here, I am letting you go

Like you wanted...

I am forgiving you

Like you begged for...

Remember, I will never forget though...

Some day you will know what you lost...

Don't you dare, dare haunt me then...

As there is no going back now...

This is it - goodbye my love!!
