I'M Sorry, Goodbye

When I first saw you 
In the clearing late October
Your smile echoing in my hollow heart
It wasn't the first time I saw you
But the first I had truly seen
Your essence
What makes you truly you
It was in that clearing that misty October
I realised you and me 
Weren't made to last
The rain poured down as my tears did
With no trees to guard my soul
There and then in that clearing I knew
I'd have to let you go
