kiss me goodbye
love is as ephemeral
as a kiss
it takes lots
and lots of them
to grow
yeah, I'm hurt
you're mean
I don't know
and I
probably won't
too big for you
I'm guessing
so overwhelming it
turned you into a ghost
well
all good, love
to begin with
we were only an illusion
now, ghost of an illusion
caught in feelings
never to materialize
my lovely
I feel for you
I don't know how
not to
it hurts that you
can't even
say good-bye
it hurts that I desired
and felt feelings for
your illusion
(someone else's
flesh and blood
but MY illusion)
for enough time
to feel attached
yeah...
you leave your screen
and go home to
the flesh and blood
that does not satisfy
and it hurts
poor baby
why
hurt anymore
than you have to
just
how much more
would it hurt
to kiss me
goodbye
