Good-bye (not quite done yet)

I suppose this is good bye

a dream that is slowly fading

I don't think I'll ever shed a last tear

because I know I'll never hold you again



Packing your bags,

my dream ceases to exist

I wish I could speed everything up

So I could just get this over with

Don't know how I'm going to deal with it

but I'm praying one day I'll be over this



I suppose my tears are more than words themselves

It explains how much I'll miss you

I'm sorry I never got around to loving you

It's my fault but you'll be gone soon



I never took the time to show you what you meant

what a life impact you've been

But my fears blocked any chance

of continuing this dream



Now all that's left is emptiness in this darkened hallway

I'll never hear your soothing voice again

instead all I can vision

is you in the arms of another man



I'll miss the sweet fragrance of your comfort

the smell that brought a calm into my heart

Something that told me everything will be ok

But now you've found your own way



You stuck to your guns, I should have known

that you would never put up with any games

Because you're a strong woman

and I admired everything about you

But intimidation set in

And now you're walking



I'm going to miss your soft hands

that rubbed my shoulder when they ached

The whisper,your soft breath on my face

I'm going to miss the lips I once embraced

and all heart ache seemed to melt away

Now it feels as though my life is being torn

Torn apart day by day



I'll miss that smile I saw first thing in the morning

When I rolled over and looked into your eyes

You'd kiss my nose, I'd brush back your hair

I'd tell you that this would last forever



And now all I'll have is the dust in this empty house

I'll stand in the doorway, looking down the hall

Expecting you to come running,

and dance the night away

But now all there will be are the memories



Trying to turn back time,

but I suppose it's a waste of time

To wish what will never come true

because I'm the one responsible

For breaking a heart that was pure and true

You were the first one to hear I love you



You were the precious jewel in my life

The priceless smile, the priceless love

That caused me to live life on purpose

Now it's a distant dream, fading by the day



How I'll miss those candle lit dinners

The deep moments that we had

The passion that we had

now is dead, now you never want it back

I'm going to miss having someone to cuddle

Someone to hug when I am feeling down

Someone to hold, when I am cold

Someone that made me all warm inside

But now you don't want to be a part of my life


Author's Notes/Comments: 

I tried to capture this from a perspective of a husband who's wife is leaving him for good, and how much he regrets all that he has done, but still it won't matter, cuz she is still leaving!!
