POEM: Goodbye

My heart was torn saying goodbye,

But I know it was for the best.

We could not wait for a day

That was never meant to be.

You were but a dream with

My hopes and desires.

The only thought that'll

Ne'er come to fruition.

I wished for the day when we

Would be together, holding

On a hope that I waited

To be always fulfilled.

Then, I saw that you were

Only my dream, a thought

That only lived inside

Of my fragile heart.

My call is different from

What I thought it would be.

I see now that there could

Never be a you and me.

So I bid you goodbye and

Farewell, my only Beloved

Wishing you the best

In the arms of another.
