Taken

I had to take one more look at you
Just one more before I say goodbye 
I don't want  to lose the image of you 
The memories of you flashing  in my mind
I remember our first kiss 
I love you seem so new to me
I was at home in your arms 
I am sad to say goodbye 
I keep asking God why 
I guess some people love lives forever and others just for a moment,  I guess that's us
I am trying to be happy for you... Trying
The good part of this is one of us found happiness and I am glad it's you
 I am in a dark lonely place,  feeling sorry for myself but I will be ok... This too will pass... This is not my first goodbye... Love don't stay
I don't want to love again, it's too painful 
I am OK living in this pain and unhappiness 
The web of dishonesty had to come to an end 
I guess you got the better half of goodbye 
I have one question... Did love exist or was it all a lie... Was I just a game... I know I didn't win... But did you? 
I learn this lesson in life sometimes in winning you really lose
I guess it doesn't matter now,  love don't live here anymore...  I master the art of goodbye...

Connie Pachecho July 21, 2017 at 1:03 PM I had a friend, too, and went through the same circumstance. It hurts. With that person I came full circle but felt like I was in a box. Nothing I could do was right. I never did ask for the moon, just one little seashell of her time. To which I look back now and think perhaps I was asking for too much.
