The Goodbye Letter

I'm sorry if your heart is breaking.
But for a while now, mine has been aching.
Our past can reveal so much about us.
But our futures will not include each other because
I just can't take anymore of this emotional abuse.
I'm so tired of being mistreated and misused.
In all respect, you were a lesson learned.
But it's still a shame how bad I got burned.
I don't want to see you, not even a picture.
I won't be coming back to you, not now. Not ever.
Don't try to phone, your calls I will not accept.
I packed all of your things, but my heart I kept.
All memories stowed away, where no one can see.
The only thing left behind, is the pain within me.
I shouldn't care because you never did.
Never a lover. Never even a friend.
When things got tough, all you could do was run.
In retrospect, it was the best you could have done.
A relationship with no love involved.
No fluttering feeling, no butterflies at all.
Now I only look back at the wasted time.
And all of that will change.  I will be just fine.
So move on from this with your mistakes in tow.
It's best for both of us if I just go.
I'm sure our paths will cross again one day.
And I will flash a simple smile and speak a silent "Hey".
But keep on walking by, there will be no need to stop.
For my sanity I will not be willing to drop.
This is to let you know that I am needing something better.
And all of the reasons you need are in this Goodbye Letter.
