The Goodbye Letter

To My Dear Love
By the time you read this letter
It will be far too late
I will be gone from this world
I will have met my fate

Its time I tell you
All the things I never said
Things that raced through my mind
When you lay next to me in bed

And I stared at you while you slept
Looking like an angel laying there
I gently kissed you on the forehead
And brushed back some of your hair

Thinking how much I love you
It was that very moment that I knew
I couldn't stay, it wasn't right
I couldn't spend my life with you

When it takes a dozen pills
To get me through the day
And you didn't even know
That I lived my life this way

So I left this note upon your pillow
And I walked out the door
Knowing Id be gone forever
I could never kiss ur lips once more

Sweetie, Its important you know
That you made my life complete
I was so happy with you
No other guy could ever compete

I'm sorry I never told you
I wanted to so many times
But would you have stayed?
And still remained mine?

After all how could you bear it
Watching me die before your eyes
Getting weaker every day
How could I ever become your bride?

You must understand
I wanted you to have it all
Live a long life with someone you love
Not watch me slowly fall

Move on and be happy
For the rest of your days
Don't live in the past
My memory will fade in a daze

The doctors tried hard
But there was nothing they could do
I'm sick and I'm dying
Thats why I have to leave you

I cant let you see me
Get worse every day
Ive stopped taking the pills
Soon Ill be at heavens gates

Remember I love you
I know you love me too
But in the long run
This was what I had to do

Don't cry for me
Because Ill never really leave
I'm that whisper in your ear
The gentle tug on your sleeve

I'm the air that surrounds you
You breathe me in
I'm forever a part of you
In your heart, I lay within

Ill always be with you
Through spirit and soul
Just know when I was alive
You made my life whole
