THE LAST TIME WE SAY GOODBYE

Sometimes you just have to know when its over

The Last Time We Will Say Goodbye

It’s sad we never had a chance to meet
Or exchange a glance from across the street
I’ll never tenderly kiss your nose

Nor surprise you with a yellow rose
You sure don't need to see the tears I cry
So this is the last time we will say goodbye

Memories often fade, I hope mine do
But for now they are still filled with you
I need to move on and try to forget

But I pray you know there is no regret
You don’t need to hear my mournful sigh

So this is the last time we will say goodbye

You gave me love and you gave me hope
All the ingredients with which to cope
A cheap cigar and a bottle of wine
May cure some ills, but they can't cure mine
You don’t need to feel my emotions die
So this is the last time we will say goodbye

Don't know if you could tell....but this was a goodbye without ever having met

[Cryingkate]

Yes I see that in the first couple lines.
Still even that was perfect for I believe everything happens for a reason.

This is nicely done - wonderful rhyming meaningful well placed words. The poem itself even looks like it is melting into the land of goodbye. Sometimes love fades, sometimes we let it fade.... It is like that....

Good catch on the line spacing...purely unintentional....this time ( : O )

I love this, I love the rhyming (i am a big rhymer)I love the rhythm, I love the pace.

As soon as I started reading it I smiled. The words are light and offer hope even in the goodbye.

A little story of a goodbye ... LOVE xx
