good by sleepy little town

standing upon the cliffs above a sleepy little town
a cool winter breeze,seems to be pulling me away
to another place and time 
how I wish I could start again and flourish in a love 
that would never end. 
but that requires the powers of the gods
that simply doesn't exist. 
I have cried for her
I cried for losing hope
I cried tears of longing
I cried tears of disdain
I cried for lying to myself
I said I could never be hurt
I have slept beside her
curled next to her body
nuzzled my head into her chest
then backed away when I realized
things were getting awkward
she told me not to attach myself
not to love her
then pushed me away
I cannot be broken by you
for I have already been broken
a cool winter breeze seems to be pulling me away
telling me it's time to leave
good by sleepy little town
like her ..........
you'll always have a special place in my heart
