The Day I Forgot How To Say Goodbye

The Day I forgot to say goodbye, was the exact day I saw you for the first time, your eyes glazed with fiery emotion and my heart felt the heat from your blushing cheeks, your heart, a ruby, glorious and beautiful, and your soul a diamond shinning crystal blue that was the day I forgot how to say goodbye. The day I forgot how to say goodbye, was when I talked to you for the first time, I heard your voice, like exotic music to my ears, I've never heard before, I fell into the storm of love with you. The day I forgot how to say goodbye, was when I touched you gently on your arm, and you did too, to me- and I snuck a kiss on your cheek and your cheeks blushed, and I say you smile for the first time, that was the day I forgot how to say goodbye. The day I forgot how to say goodbye, was the day we walked home from long walks going no where and somewhere at the same time, we danced in the rain, and you showed me your scars over hot tea... and I noticed a broken heart in you, I kissed you and you said to me, "you make it all better." And I fell deeper for you, falling for you harder and crash I am in love with you. The day I forgot how to say goodbye, was when I buried you. I stay there beside your tombstone, and sang you those songs you used to love to dance to, and I loved to watch you, and I too joined in those dances, and With you lowered into the Earth, My love went with you and my heart as well, that was the day I didn't want to say goodbye, because you made me forget how to say it and make it mean something.

Stunningly beautiful yet sad write my friend! I hope it was fiction, as I've unfortunately had that experience for real and wish it on no other!A7

Your vulnerability shows in this one - tragically so. Well done. It made my heart skip a beat.

This really pulled me in and pulverized my heart with the sad ending. A very emotive and exceptional piece. In third stanza did you mean "saw you smile" ?
