hello,
i was writing you to say
these things i havent said
for so long.
these words are etched
in paper etched
in my soul which
belongs to you.
i could not fight whatever
feeling this could be
i could not hate whatever
you would want me to see.
and my love, i must say
you bring me what happiness
this life may ever have.

and yet, the times are not so
bright.
the stars, they shine on you-
but my sky is not as full.
the moon, dedicated to your beauty
has left me in the dark.
i have a thousand matches
and plenty to burn-
but the light and warmth it provides
is nothing like what you
return to me.
but these moments, i am apart-
these days are like moments
just slipping by,
chipping away at the:
sanity
happiness
love
hope
life that i held so dear.

these days, the sun will shine
and i have cloudy skies.
these days, my world will rain
and the drops say a million times,
"it's time to say goodbye"

and every now and then,
i get so close to believing
i have to let go
and stop breathing.
you have rescued me so many times
from this dark, deep abyss-
but this time around,
i'm finding it hard to find
something better than this.

so, as much happiness as you can give
and as much of a life you can live
youll have to live in your sunny days alone.

the rain is falling,
telling me to say goodbye.
and i am falling-
and i am saying goodbye.


goodbye.
