You never told me your last word to me was going to be goodbye,

In my head, I wonder and keep asking the same question, “Why?”

Now intimate strangers, will you walk on by when you see me or say hi?

I’ve promised myself, just like the Wilson sisters, you won’t see me cry.

Even if I do, the Evergreen brothers advise that I do my crying in the rain,

Mother Nature, please wail with me when I try to let go of this pain.

All those nights when your affection held me close to tell me you care,

So it was to take my love, now I’m left with none; that is just not fair.

The rainbow coloured world that I created was meant only for us two,

It’s all gone cos you’ve left my world and made it so black and blue.

My years, commitments, my worries and cares; I dedicated them all to you,

Hoping that they prove my love for you and will bind us together like glue.

You said you loved me, I found out later that those three words were not true,

Fooled I was, cos you were loving someone new and I didn’t have a clue.

To have loved and lost is just too great a heartache for anyone to bear,

Especially when it is that one hurtful sad word “Goodbye” you lastly hear.

 I’m going to find a way to make it without you in the coming lonely nights,

And try to keep sane as my body and mind battle out the ‘who’s to blame’ fights.

The vacuum that you once filled in my heart, I know, will forever remain,

But the question is, can I really love again or should I ever love again?

If you’ve saved your best for last, please be true to that one you chose to love,

And I sincerely pray to God that no one else ever has to hear your last word.
