I said I didn’t love you
And I believed it was true
Then you spoke to me again
And it all came back anew

You just came to say goodbye
And it grew more and more
We talked more this night
Than we ever have before

You weren’t worth loving
That’s what everyone would say
And I finally believed them
Until this fateful day

I worked to hard to forget
The way that I loved you
But you can’t forget something
That’s so real and true

But the love is different now
All I want to see
Is someone being good to you
Although it isn’t me

My love isn’t selfish
Nor is it unkind
It’s controlled from my heart
Instead from my mind

And now you are leaving
To go back to your home
You’re leaving so soon
Leaving me… alone

That night, I felt something
That I didn’t want to feel
I didn’t want to believe
Despite it all…

I love you still

LoveBug~
this was beautiful and sad. i know
this feeling all too well. I am glad
to see though that you are working
things out and only wish for them
the best instead of wishing bad against
them. that in my opinion just wastes
precious time. and time is so short.
take care.

great poem!!

 "Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is before you can meet again. And meeting again after a moment or a lifetime is certain for those who are friends."

"Fate exists but it can only take you so far,
Because once you're there
It's up to you to make it happen."

Ah, the conflict of heart vs. mind.
I enjoyed the way you walked through the background and ended on a true note of finality.  I think we've all had someone that has had a similar effect on our lives.
Very nice.

 I have been to see the world. Tasted life at every turn.
And all the time your face came back to haunt me.
