The Unsaid Goodbye

I love YOU, but I gotta choose ME.

You’ll look for me in every girl you meet, but that will never happen, sorry love, there’s only one me.

I gave you the chance, I gave you many chances to value my heart, to feel my expressions. You pushed me away, you failed to stay.

Many times, you placed tears upon my face. It was your lack of love, your lack of care that made me dark and made things fall apart.

You had me stuck, addicted to your touch. My sickened heart and blurry eyes, you continued to lie and play me as if I wasn’t kind.

Your lies, your eyes, your addictive words carved in my brain stuck with me for days. It’s been two years going on three. I let you come in and captivate me.

My love, I believe this is it. The time has finally come. The love I had for you is slowly fading away. Yes, it hurts, indeed I cry, but darling you failed to provide the love that I needed to survive.

I’ll see you around, I’ll hear about you too. But you will no longer be the one making my heart turn blue. The laughs and late nights watching movies till midnight, are all things of the past.

I’ve got to let go of this so that I can be free and find some new arms to hold me. I tried to wake you up from your stubborn dream, but you failed to realize the you I see.

A little side of me will always care, the only difference now is that I won’t be there. By your side cuddled up, feeling warm, your arms around me feeling loved.

My love, you’re no longer my love. For your touch is no longer a touch that I need.

I love you, but I’ve gotta choose me.
