What would you do,
if I told you that this was the end,
of our relationship,
that I was leaving,
and there was nothing,
not a single thing,
that could change my mind?

Would you care that I was leaving,
going far far away,
leaving you behind,
leaving everything I've ever known,
moving to a new town,
with new friends,
new guys?

Would you call me every week,
like you do now,
just to see how I'm doing,
to make sure I'm okay,
to see if I have any people,
that I need for you to beat up,
and I never did?

Would you hate ****, ( a person's name)
and all of them,
but especially him,
even though I'm leaving him behind too,
and going far away,
and you hate him,
but you don't know him?

Would you not say goodbye,
because goodbye means forever,
and I know I'll never see you again,
but you don't want it to be like that,
for me to dissappear,
and never come back,
would you never say goodbye?

I wish people would stop telling me that I can do anything I want to. I never thought that I couldn't.

WOW
This was VERY powerful... had a lot of emotion to it. Your questions and phrases cut like knives.
Into the library, this one goes.

Thanks Allan. This poem has meaning to me. I've attended school with the same people for nine years (including ****) and I met the guy who is now my ex over the summer, and this is about him, and the other guy (****) and what not. Byes.

I wish people would stop telling me that I can do anything I want to. I never thought that I couldn't.

This is an amazing piece! I loved it! One of the best I think I've read from you. I love the way you ask questions... they made me think. VERY nice job...

I never thought that you would ever be the one to let me down. I guess that just goes to show how wrong I always am.

Allysa, this is a... I don't know what to say. This one really hit me hard. I know what it feels like to Never say Goodbye, although I should. Awesome poem, it is REALLY making me think, and I hate that. But it's going into my library anyway. Maybe I do need to think ervery now and then.

I find myself asking a lot of questions, some of which are very weird. Ask Dopey. Back in Teen 3 I gave him a list of interesting questions Thanks!.

Hey! Dopey, I'm a good girl. I don't break any commandments. And as far as I know, lying isn't a commandment. ANywyas, thansk.
