this is my goodbye to you
a sweet blanket of truth
i know that we’re better off without each other
so let’s not play games and leave for the better

thank you for being in my life
for inspiring me to do what’s right
to wish for the best
and put me to the test

i love you and I know you know
so i hope you don’t say no
to the next girl who confesses her love
and that you will never break her heart
instead fit together with her like a glove

i hope that we’ll find each other again
this time as adults who have what we’ve attained
a lifelong list of accomplishments and dreams
but baby, if only you knew you were my dream

but this is my goodbye
so i love you and it’s true
i’ll remember you and this too;
the kisses of our forever
and the memories created from whenever
For my love, J.H.

this kiss, our kiss
i remember the warmth of your lips
grazing my own like blankets of security
the cheeseburger from lunch
and the smell of you on my lips

our kiss, i know i will never forget
the taste of you
the taste of you that lingers
the smell of you that invades my thoughts
the smile through our kisses

your fingers that travel on my skin
a feeling that i never forget while we kiss
i want to treasure this moment forever
and kiss you again like i remember

this kiss that lingers
our kiss that matters
a kiss, and that’s all i really want
A kiss to remember me by, my love.

you have me in your grasp
so right, so tight
you do not love me, but you act so
you say some and your words say otherwise
i love you and that is the truth
but if you do not love me, then leave me
if you do not share my feelings, then let me leave
your greed precedes you as you crave for that endless cycle of love
i love you and you know that
exploit me all you want but remember that you don’t love me
so I’m letting you go

goodbye to all the messages with love
goodbye to all the messages I wrote
goodbye to all the waiting and craving
goodbye to all the minimal happiness

i deserve better
and you are not that better
I’m letting go of you, my love.
As how you need to let me go, I’m raising my fists to say goodbye forever.

i wrote a song for you
a song for a heart bigger than the both of us
this song that speaks the language of the universe
triumphant and proud
eager and wondrous

the song speaks to me like how you would
it whispers sweet nothings into my ears
its breath fanning against my cheeks so softly
a low, deep voice that reverberates in me

i call it our song
a smile that reflects me and defends me
it keeps me awake even when i’m asleep
so sing me this song that I call ours

a treacherous song this song
for it hurts me and loves me
a beauty in words that cannot be described in ink
so i write you this song

and hope you listen to it
For my love, J.H.

I trace that steps that we took on our dates
the times for me to fall in love each day
The feel of your skin so familiar on mine
i could just imagine it if I tried

I count the steps that you took as you left
sometimes i feel like i’m better off dead
Showering in the moments the first time we kissed
oh, how splendid it is to experience your taste

I imagine the steps that it took for me to love
it wasn’t much for all it took was one look
Those dark, brooding eyelashes and smile
i wish i could forget that night

Every step we took was a step to our end
our relationship nothing more than bland
An expiration date waiting to spoil
as we say our forever goodbyes with joy
For my ex-boyfriend, my love
Sophie Mariff Oct 2018
i love you, three words too complicated
a description too tough
a feeling so painful

i love you, and it's true
a lie that cannot be taught
a love that will never perish

i love you, and i want you to know
knowledge for the beautiful
and you, you are beautiful to me

i love you, so please believe me
stronger than your kind of like
a word so hard to understand

i love you, a feeling that transcends
it flows through me like water
a feeling so blissful like wind

i love you, don't you ever forget
for you may forget me
but never forget my love

i love you, and i know it

i want to hold your hand
and
smell your hair
slip our fingers between each other
talk over the times of good
feel my heart bursting out of my chest
it becomes painful to understand
laugh
as happiness transcends our body and soul

smile knowing that you are with me
For J.H.

One, it was blissful, innocent
full of strange adventures,
a reality that smelled so like cinnamon
Oh, what a thirst quencher
as he satiated my desires

Two, we cave in our lives
grieving for the first time
Trying to forge a friendship in this dive,
a leap of faith to try
for all we see is each other

Three, a kiss to remember him by
we spend our day in an endless summer
See, this is a beautiful night
but this is just the start to a series of heartbreaks

Four, we are at our prime
exchanging secrets messages and secrets
Like teenage years that we missed
falling in love

Five, it’s a test of separation
Without the attention
I’m lost, lonely and frustrated
How is he the only one who can fulfill this decadence?

Six, we fight a war
Deciding what is worth and what’s not
reading messages that hurt
risk getting heartbroken the third time
Giving up so much for him, I don’t want to think of it as a mistake

Seven, love is just a realization
Breaking the bond feels like the perfect thing
a nagging feeling fills my chest
Telling me that I’ll regret it
leaving him like that

Eight, a week without each other
Strangers without a word to pass
as if no memories had been made,
no true words are spoken until pride is put down

Nine, we try to heal ourselves
Salvaging a relationship that had broken
a last date to make things perfect once more
It was more than perfect as we danced in the dark

Ten, friendship is blooming
the relationship is dying
Change is inevitable and I know what needs to be done
In turn, we fight, fight, fight

Eleven, we see each other for the last time
Say forever goodbyes
smile not because it’s over but because it happened
Accept that we will never be
remember forever that we were once
Today, my ex-boyfriend goes home. We were together for 11 weeks and there is a journey through these 11 weeks.
