Since You Said Goodbye

I put on our old song

just to listen for a while

i went crazy missing you

thought it would calm me down

i lay in my bed and close my eyes

the happy words that used to be ours

now sting my heart

i start to cry remembering all we had

i feel so lonely, so sad



i open my eyes to reminders of you

the guitar you gave me,

the cd of love songs sung by you

the sketch of us one summer you drew

that hangs up on my wall

i had to get rid of it all



i threw your old guitar onto the floor and broke it,

tears falling from my fevered cheeks

I scratched your cd with my dirty fingernails, tears falling still

i ripped the sketch of us, two lovers who will never be, tears falling even harder

i found the old pictures of us together and ripped them one by one



It has been a half a year since the accident,

since the phone call i recieved from your sister

telling me that you were in the hospital in critical condition,

fighting to survive



I went there to see you

but i was too late

when i got there,

you said goodbye to me

i gently hugged and kissed you

and then i took your hand in mind

and let you closed your eyes

and then you died



it seemed in that instance,

the whole world cried

because it started to rain

i still feel all the pain

my life, and all of our lives

will never be the same.....

since you said goodbye
