Goodbye My Love

I love you I love you I do
 Words for many a war has been fought
 I love you I love tiz true
 Words for many a pointless item bought
 
Words cannot tell you how I feel
 Spinning round round like a wheel
 Thoughts cramming into my head
 From my mind they cannot be shed
 
I love you I love you I do
 These words just three little ones
 I love you though it maketh me blue
 And the spool continuously runs
 
My heart is being crushed from deep within
 Thoughts abounding causing such a din
 The pressure-each breath a painful gasp
 Yours was the heart I never could grasp
 
I love you I love you I do
 A feeling from which I can't refrain
 I love you, I hear not from you
 Silence which causes so much pain
 
For this love just friends cannot be
 You must go for love must be free
 So it must be that you and me end
 Tears fall, as to you, this letter I send

When we love even when it is unreturned we are somehow more alive. Love is still a worthy pursuit, you are however wise to realize it is not mutual and let it go so that you are not in bondage to it. A heart like yours deserves a love that is shared and someone who sees you as the best part of their world. Do not settle for anything less, you deserve the best.
