PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

you said you were gonna leave

it's for the best i guess,

but i know it'll be the worst for me.



after being with you for so long,

it's gonna hurt to see you go-

when that times comes around...

i know it's gonna be hard.

but you'll be happy at least,

i'm glad because of that.

all i want

is to see you have a good life,

and succeed in doing what you love.



but you said you weren't gonna come back,

like you never wanted to see me again;

i know you don't mean that-

it just doesn't seem right.

it's just how i feel.



i'll still talk to you on the phone every night,

still make you laugh,

and still love you,

beause thats the way it used to be-

i don't want to change it.



i understand why you wanna go back there;

you had everything made there.

you just didn't realize till it was too late.

i never made it good enough down here,

sweet enough, or fun enough.



i know i can make it better, a lot more;

more worthwhile.

because i'm not going to waste my time

nor waste yours,

or treat you like shit;

neither of us have time for that.



but like i know,

it sounds like you want him back.

i can't change that,

and you can't help it-

i understand that.

i just can be who i am as a person,

treat her right, show her that i love her-

while there is still time left,

and maybe she'll stay with me.



because i don't wanna let her go,

and just walk away like we never meant anything;

she mattered the world to me,

i just never acted like it.

i don't want a new girl,

i just want the old us back.



and no other girl could never replace you

you're one of a kind;

that's why i want to keep you

for as long as i possibly can.
