GOODBYE

So I watch you.
Yes, I still do.
It's difficult to not look at your marvelous perfection.
It's been a year.
A WHOLE year.
I feel guilty.
Why can't I just let you go?
You've moved on.
I have too.
Or so I thought.

But now I watch him turn my way.
My head starts spinning its wild concoctions of fantasies.
"Shut up!" I tell my dreams.
"Why must you continue to haunt me?!"
My tears are threatening to expose me.
I turn away for good.
Goodbye.

She's looking at me again.
Doesn't she know how much that pains me?
I can't look at her anymore!
It hurts...but it's been a YEAR.
I thought I was doing the right thing.
She's obviously let me go.
So why can't I?

So I look at her again.
I watch with horror as her eyes brim with painful unshed tears.
I realize mine do the same.
She turns away.
And so do I.
Goodbye, my Love, goodbye.
