The Last Good-Bye

by Crystal - Leo

Beginning with a kiss and ending with tears,
My feelings for him were strong, outweighing his.
Unable to trust him, clouded with fears,
happiness to hurtfulness; guess that's the way life is.

In the beginning he was only a friend.
Then what we had, grew into something more.
My honesty and love is what I would send;
I thought what was opening was the door.

I would often tell girls not to give away their heart,
But I loved and cared for this guy;
Ironic it was I who turned not to be smart, 
Being stupid for not ever saying good- bye.

My feelings outweighed the feelings he had for me.
My eyes and ears couldn't bring me to belief.
Emotions that blinded, covered things I didn't want to see.
Now with regret of my denial, I search for relief.

With my smile he took my heart;
Playing mind games he will always start.
So we our last good-bye,
And that is truly no lie.

Reason for writing:

    I was in a relationship with someone I believed I loved. I also believed he loved me. In the end I opened my eyes and saw the truth, that he didn't love me and that I was being used. I had to put my feelings aside and let him go, because without respect, what is love?
