As we each said our last good-bye... <br />each mistake rolled through my head. <br />I tried so hard to block them out... <br />all the ugly things we said. <br /> <br />I've tried to relate each mistake... <br />to a lesson I now understand. <br />As each new day comes and leaves... <br />without the sweet caress of your hand. <br /> <br />I'll struggle through each new day... <br />searching for hope yet seeing blind. <br />As my heart continues to morn... <br />for my dear friend that was left behind. <br /> <br />You'll forever have this heart of mine... <br />that I'm afraid I just can't undo. <br />Along with all the love I have... <br />still inside of me just for you. <br /> <br />I'm sorry for the pain that was caused... <br />each time the tables got turned. <br />I'm sorry that we just couldn't stop... <br />until we each felt we had been burned. <br /> <br />You have justified all the reasons... <br />why you felt it best to say good-bye. <br />I guess it just wasn't worth it anymore... <br />so why bother to continue to try. <br /> <br />And so now we both have closure... <br />to our torred love affair at long last. <br />We each have said our final good-bye... <br />making 'us' now just a thing of the past. <br /> <br />Do me a favor as you try to move on... <br />remember 'us' with a smile on your face. <br />Hold tightly to each memory you have... <br />memories of us will be hard to replace.<br /><br />Shelly Price<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/our-last-goodbye/
