With No Apologies

I'm terribly sorry,
and truly regret that it has to end like this
This love affair just was not meant to be,
thus offer I best wishes to you with no apologies
I was so into you,
and you were so into me
And we had one whirlwind of a romance ... but alas,
this windswept love affair has become tepid and bland
Once robust sails of passion now lay beached on the sand
You desire something exciting and new,
and I must confess, I do too
We both were never the type
to stay settled in one heart too long
We were both wandering spirits,
who at some point were gonna move on
There is no hidden malice in any of this,
no murmurings of ill discontent
Our love affair just ran out of steam,
our stardust wings lease expired,
we only purchased them to rent
Farewell my quixotic lover,
I enjoyed this wonderful roller coaster ride,
but you my dear were never groomed
to play the role of a bride
And I was never suited as well
to be your wedded mate
We both knew this wouldn't last
from the very first date
So sweet sorrow is this parting ...
of our time together,
I will always have fond memories
My heart sends to you
a passionate kiss farewell,
of loving regards with no apologies
