The postman delivered your letter today,
You told me that you could no longer stay,
As I read it I shed some tears,
It was bad; it was just as I feared.

The letter was your dear John,
It explained to me why you had been gone,
You found a way to break my heart,
But you told me how you loved me from the start.

Our love I thought would last forever,
But now we’re no longer together,
My soul aches and longs for you,
I’m glad you had the guts to tell me the truth.

Soul mates no longer are we,
You have finally gotten me to see,
Thank you for setting me free,
You called me today at a quarter past three.

I wanted our relationship to last,
But the time for that has past,
We will never see each other again,
So I no longer have to pretend.
