Final Good-Bye

By: Toni Russell

When you left, all you said was "good-bye"
You gave me no explanation at all.
When all that I wanted to do was cry
into your arms; I could no longer fall.
Your soft sweet lips I loved to kiss,
the sound of your voice to calm my fears,
these things and you... are what I miss.
Everyday your absence brings forth my tears.
Was it true love or closer to lust?
I dreamt about... again being yours
but that cannot be without trust.
My trust in you exists no more.
In my heart you will always stay,
but with me again... you can never be.
Maybe things will be better this way,
nobody knows, we'll just wait and see.
Now all I can do is say, "good-bye"
I know that you couldn't care less
but it is time again for me to hold my head high,
and repair the heart you left a mess...
