It's Over

You have no idea how much you'll be missed We've seen each other every day for years Though you've touched my lips, we never once kissed Picking me up when I was brought to tears Calming my nerves before something new Bringing strength to get over my fears It seems so scary, not sure what I'll do Good times and bad, exciting or lame You were always there to help me get through Life without you just won't be the same But it had to end, something I've always known It's finally time to put out that flame Our love I can no longer condone This relationship which I now regret I need to learn to get by on my own All that you have done I'll never forget As I butt you out, my last cigarette Written for TERZA RIMA about anything you like - poetry contest
