One Last Goodbye
If only I could turn back time,
I'd go back to when you were mine.
If only it were that simple.
Even then you didn't belong to me,
But I believed in the possibility.
There was a chance,
A small one for sure.
I felt my heart-strings dance,
I felt the lure.
Myself I couldn't stand,
Though you said I was grand.
Fearing myself a lout,
I was filled with doubt.
I hated myself,
Your love was a book I just could't shelf.
"It's the truth" I was reasurred.
It was then that I began to be cured.
Maybe I really was pretty,
I felt giddy.
Perhaps I was truly loved too,
I was so happy I didn't know what to do.
Then you took that all away,
I didn't know what to say.
It was my doubt in you,
That made 'us' an unhealthy brew.
The one time I screwed up,
Over-filled the cup.
You couldn't handle it,
But I was bit.
You walked away,
And I stayed.
You found another,
As I cried to my mother.
I was told to let go,
And I said no.
But now it's too late 'cause you're gone,
So with this one last goodbye I will move on.
