Time For Goodbye
Is it that time?
Never seems to be enough
the sunrise slips in
just as the night escapes the darkness
and the morning rays appear
glittering on the dew of the grass
as the warm begins to dry the drops
it's the residue of our time together;
a moment sliding through our words
the wonder and exhilaration of being together
one more chance at hello,
how are you, missed you so,
did you know how much I love you,
but it's goodbye, time to go;
it's just the heartache I'm afraid of
that possibility of never seeing you again
just when I thought you felt the same,
wrong and mistaken once more,
you say we're just friends;
I'll kiss you lightly,
on the forehead, on your cheek,
sorry I misunderstood
but surely you must have known
love unreturned is just love alone;
I'm sorry to be leaving you
time for goodbye.
