-For all of us who will never understand "goodbye"s real meaning...-
One Million Goodbyes
My one-million goodbyes to you just didn't feel complete,
As if there were something I was forgetting.
It seemed like nothing was wrong.
It seemed like it wasn't that long ago.
I know that it can be hard to say,
All those things I had to leave that one day.
I didn't know you well enough,
But I heard it through the grapevine,
Everything I heard -it seemed like another life.
It wasn't the you I knew,
But another who existed too.
It's hard to say if I could have discovered the other, who was you.
Maybe it wasn't our fault,
But another -
Who didn't know that I was wrong.
Perhaps we could've been better off,
If your weakness hadn't come along.
But you I can forgive.
Not, however, that which won't let us live.
So here I have written to you yet another goodbye,
but this I know would be our last tonight.
And possibly the rest of our short lived life.
Just know that for you the love I hold,
You who are so dearly beloved and bold.
I just hope that you will know,
For you I will bestow,
This sad and lonely feeling of sorrow.
Deep within my soul,
I feel it there.
It's the regret I hold, and not so fair.
I know that what gave you away,
It wasn't my fault -but age.
I still can't help but wonder,
Could I have written yet another?
Could I have written something better?
Something that really felt like the last of our goodbyes?
Well this I know to be true,
That this good bye isn't so good,
However it's my last to you. I love you.
