What we had
a flash in the pan
and it can't be solved
over pancakes.

The heart on my sleeve
has begun to chafe
and i finally picked up
my emotional luggage
at the baggage claim.

You were my speck in time
and I just a stage
So please don't hold on
I may pull a Fahrenheit 451
and burn our page

It's been such a short while
and you are smitten like a child
but I have long been grown
and can't afford a stray inside this home.

I won't always be a dime
or a good lookin' bird
soon I'll been a penny (for these thoughts)
and I may go from pretty to an ogre

So can you blame for our end
when
I don't like wasting time
however short and possibly sublime

Understand
I need a man
and am no longer such a school girl

And regardless, how cute
and kind
you may be
You lack an intensity
I've found I need

We were (are) not meant to be

Your world lives in an
anything is possible way
But there is no
"yes we can"
for us today

Goodbye
I'm so sorry
Goodbye
I hope I haven't altered your hopeful realities
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
