Torn Apart


Four years ago we said Goodbye.

For me it was "for now".

To you it was "so long".

Four years ago I told myself to tell you

"I think I love you"

You looked away too soon

Three years ago I waited for you

I tried to smile for you

You never showed

Two years ago I cried when I slept

I was still attached

You drifted away

One year ago I tried to get past you

I was still in love

You were still  gone

One month ago, I gave in and called.

I asked you to prom.

You said no, but "Thank you"

One week ago, I gave in and cried.

I couldn't believe it.

You haven't said "hi"

One hour ago I wrote this note to say

I still can't believe it.

You really meant "Goodbye".

One second ago I smiled a little for you.

I'm still in love with you.

But you'll never know.

Four years ago it was so real for us.

Well-for me it was

You just ran away

Now I will finally get to say-

"Goodbye"
