You

Goodbye is such a hard thing to say,

And I'm not sure I know how.

But you are leaving, perhaps not today,

However, I must accept it now.

I met you almost 2 years ago,

I fell for you fast and hard,
But even if you did love me so,

You kept the important truth barred.

I was not ready, you said to me,

Truth is.. I never was.

The truth that we could never be,

For I am here, and you... Above.

"Move on in life!" You had to yell,

Even though I said no,

My answer stuck like a bell,

Exact; unmoving; one tone.

Sunshine you're like a glue-gun.

You touch two things and forever they stick,

However if you tamper with the product almost done,

A burn was bound to kick.

The truth came out, and I had planned

To end my life that night.

You were my world, my special drug brand,

And I saw no further light..

Then he came into my lifeless life,

And I found a reason to hope.

I know you don't like him, he 'cut you like a knife',

But he saved my life and allowed me to cope.

You tried staying away from me.

And thus, I fell for him more.

And now I ask, do you see?

Is this not what you asked for?

And then my dear, when love did fall,

I tried to be your friend.

I never wanted to hurt you at all,

I just didn't want you to hate me in the end.

But this is for you, my shine in the sun.

A beauty that burns if admired too long.

Such a power, such a soul, you are always quite fun.

I use to spend hours writing countless poems and songs.

You are leaving us, though I don't know when,

And when you vanish, you will be thoroughly missed.

I will miss our long talks, and the time we use to spend,

I've never thought you ill, though you could get me pissed.

I always worried for you,

And your well-being at heart.

I will never forget you,

Even though we must part.

So thank you, shinning star,

You helped me through hard times.

You saved me from my countless scars,

You are a true, couragious guide.
