Last Kiss Goodbye

oh hi,
i didn't see you there
then again i've never had you here
you went unseen somewhere

i caught a glimpse of you once
but i blocked the memory so it bounced
behind the enemy line i stood
sorry to say but i was fighting my dear old you

so when did you get here?
i thought you'd be nowhere near
so naturally i'm wrong again this time
you've crept your way all through my mind

it's not that i don't like you
i do, in fact, i really love you
but in a way i sincerely don't, clearly
because i always always end up teary

hush, not a word, i say
let this be my time to lay
to lean my head and close my eyes
to walk away and say goodbyes

so let this be a final closure
lets drift our ways apart, together
and yes, i will pine for you
but only because i wanted to

i will miss you the most
but you should be nothing but a ghost
here's my last kiss of adieu
keep it in your heart, forget you had it in you.
