Not A Love Poem
We could have been a fairy tale, you and I
But the words just could never come out right.
Maybe it was me but mostly it was you.
God I wish and pray so hard it weren’t true!
But maybe we’ve been tightly holding onto
Something long dead. So, my sweet love, Goodbye.
My heart aches when I think of the Goodbye
That I’ll have to say. Because you and I
Just make sense. Stumbling around and falling onto
Love together. Not one answer is right ,
Because I’ve distorted and tried to hide what’s true
I wish you would fight for me like I for you.
See all it took was one real glance at you.
A thousand looks away for one goodbye.
God this is hard for me, tell me it’s not true.
Because we are magical, you and I
Maybe I was wrong, maybe she was right
Maybe you just aren’t worth holding onto
It’s like slipping off clouds and falling onto
Sharp rocks and all I want is to be with you
But being in your arms just doesn’t feel right
Anymore. I think its time; Goodbye
Fairy tale. I need time for myself and I
I am done wishing for things that aren’t true.
I don’t care if what you said was or wasn’t true
The book of my heart is checked out to you.
I am letting go of the rope I held onto
So tight. I have to think for me and I
My head says loudly Farwell, Aude, Goodbye
And by another’s side I finally feel right.
I’d almost forgotten how it felt to feel right
Without having to second guess what’s true
Not having to worry about Goodbye
How it feels not having to hold onto
Everything and try so hard to keep you
We’re happy as friends, he and I
I am letting go of holding onto E
Everything alone. I am giving up on you C
I will be happy, me, myself, and I A
