I haven't an idea how to say goodbye.
If I had.
I would have already left.
But there's never the right words.
Never the right time.
I've tried in the past.
It didn't go quite right.
You'd talk to me all night.
Telling me I'm not allowed.
Asking my to stay.
Stay there.
You need to be there.
But not here.
Here's too close.
Just exist.
But don't exist near you.
I'd rather just not.
I'd rather say goodbye.
And leave.
I must find the right things to say.
So you won't ask me to stay.
So you won't miss me when I'm gone.
I need to find a way to say goodbye.
That won't leave you to cry.
