"Farewell"


Let's rewind the clock and travel back in time

Back to the time when I first saw your smile

Who would have thought I'll find you, who would think I'll fall?

Because I didn't feel anything back then, truly nothing at all


I wanted you to fall for someone else

You two had great chemistry, it was like a fairytale

Maybe at that time, I was still drowning in another pair of eyes

Maybe I was too busy getting lost in another bunch of lies


You were not the light when I was in the dark

When I met you again, I didn't feel any spark

If there were any I probably looked way past it

If you were a puzzle piece, I honestly didn't think you are the perfect fit


But your kindness was too powerful it broke my chains

For a short time, I was happy, for a moment you became the killer of the pain

Kindness ripped the thing covering my eyes, it broke my walls

Your eyes became a star in my night, and in my mind, your voice echoed in the halls


Kindness made the butterflies fly again, then kindness broke my heart

Now I'm sad and blue, you pushed me back to the start

This is the last poem in this book I made for you

This is the point where I chose to move on and promised to let go


This is the end of a story, so as a proper one there should be a credit scene

I'm not hopeful about our future together, I'm just wondering what we could've been

Cupid was playing, I was a target practice, and you were a dart

All these poems are thanks to you and the scars you left in my heart


Dear guy who made me fall with his kindness,

You are, unfortunately, my Amaranthine night sky

Although it broke me I was glad that you passed by

This wound will last forever just like the love I felt for you

Someday, I'll find someone who will be a poet for me too


The journey we've had was beautiful, a great one indeed

I was a boring novel but at least you spent a bit of time to read

I'll never forget your eyes, your smile, your messages, your kindness

With my whole heart, I'll tell you I was grateful for the short-lived happiness


But as another chapter of my story ends, I need to say goodbye

The fire I felt was strong and mighty but now it has to die

The last poem in my book of letters is the summary of all that happened

This is the last mail, the last note that my stupid heart will send


I wish that you've felt the love even just for a while

This is the last case, the last metaphor, the last crime

I pray that you'll find the one worthy enough to dedicate a poem

Or a story, a novel, a book, a book of poems, or even greater, a song


This is the last poem I will write for you, the next one might not come from me anymore.

Think of this poem as the last page, it's me finally closing the door

For now, I'll wave my hands in the past, this love is a sinking ship but I am a dove

I'll fly away and find my own home, this is now my farewell, my love.
