I Think It’s Time To Say Goodbye

Some things are not meant to be

I think it’s time for us to say goodbye

God knows you can’t say I didn’t try.

For nine long months, we have played this game

Nothing has changed; everything is still the same.

I have tried to get you to talk

You talk the talk, but you won’t do the walk.

You profess deep love, but how can that be

You barely even set eyes on me.

There are a hundred reasons that apply

I think it’s time for us to say goodbye.

💔💔💔💔

But I don’t want to say goodbye

Won’t you please just give it another try?

I’ll do anything that you want and need

I’m so sorry we fought and disagreed.

Please let’s kiss and make up now

Come over here, I’ll show you how.

Please don’t toss me aside

Don’t you know how many times I cried?

I can’t accept that our love has died

Please don’t let it be time for us to say goodbye.

💔💔💔💔

No, I think it’s best we say goodbye

I don’t have the energy to persist and try.

You know so little about what makes me tick

It’s gone too far, it’s happened too quick.

We both were chasing separate dreams

And now the reality is not what it seems.

The things you want I can’t provide

It has taken me some time to decide.

A hundred reasons that apply

It is time for me to say goodbye.

I Think It’s Time To Say Goodbye ….

💔💔💔💔

    This is so sad but so well written. It flowed so effortlessly!

    The poetry is gorgeous but I still believe she’s hiding her true feelings for some reason, perhaps she doesn’t want to be a burden. I also wish she will give it another try.
