Goodbye Love

Goodbye Love, Thank You Love, I'll Miss You

Goodbye love, I'll miss you
For the joy of your love is dead
and that immensity is gone with you.

I saw this end before we'd begun, love
I knew this love wasn't meant to stay
Just like the free glory of the dove
You too, had to one day fly away.

But you are always going to be my love
Even if I fall in love with someone else
I'll keep you safe tucked away in my heart
I hope I will have a place in your heart too
I hope you will remember me in a sweet way
For that is how I'll always remember you.

For the time you cared,
It was nice to know you were there
Thank you for watching as I fell
I'm glad we got to have it all
Then admitting the love was gone
Then letting me know this was done
Thank you for teaching me how to hold on...

What we gave to each other was our eternal right
As we combined our souls into one that night
and even if you say my spirit no one can break
Its the love you let go, and the dreams you take.

I heard your sighs, I held you head
I shared your heart, I shared your bed
All the memories of us together I've kept
You said your heart I could have till the end.

So many nights I've cried myself to sleep
Tears waiting behind my thirsty eyes
So I let them fall, fall for the past of you
accepting the end of everything that I knew
But I won't regret how i tried to hold on too.

I know I can't make your heart feel something it won't
But I still profess my trust to you even if you don't
I know my heart has the strength to go on for another love
Forever the same, nothing can change, you have been the one.

And I've come to see this is one thing
That I can do nothing about, so just know
That some precious dreams last so long
Even after you love to me is long gone
Just one day I dearly hope you will see
For the time being, you were the one for me.

Now, worth nothing left to say
I cry "hearts are broken every day"
And I put on my pj's and hop into bed
Feeling worn and tired but mostly dead
I look to the dresser where my silent phones lies
Remembering how you'd call just to say goodnight.

So goodbye love, one last time to You
Because your love to me is now dead
and that immensity of you has gone
So maybe for now I'll be alone in this bed
Cry myself to restless sleep, then at dawn
waking up to find, you are still gone
wiping away the tear stains, smiling again
I'll go on, but your memory will never be forgotten.
