Good Bye

You left before the forever.
Right after the I love you and
Before the first kiss,
And as soon as I accepted “it”, I mean us.
I didn’t trust us, didn’t give you too much time.
So you left me, thinking I didn’t deserve a good-bye.

I got to throw it out there,
I cried.
Cried like you snatched my blanket,
out of my mouth.

Now I smile, smile
Only because I am over being forgotten.
You weren’t the one,
Wasn’t even worth a memory.
I never got to tell you what you mean to me.

But I hear it now,
The weak laugh
And small nod saying, if only and if maybe.
I gave up loving and I am threw caring,
About the goodbye you walked out on,
For the check you have yet to receive.
