You were too good to be true

To say goodbye ain’t easy,

when you’ve done all that you can..

to convince yourself subconsciously that there’s more to a man..

Then what you see in photographs and read in magazines,

those flawless shining faces on your flashing TV screens.

Accepting to abandon sorrow,

can be a feat fit for a warrior

I was never one to dwell for long, but I’ve always been a worrier.

I’ll let you go, I’ll do it now.

You go your way, I’ll go mine.

And I’ll try to forget those summer days,

where we were tranquilly intertwined.

All those nights I whispered thanks to you,

cause I was scared as hell,

of where’d I’d be perpetually after that final bid farewell

I had a feeling from the start!

I had my doubts and in my heart

I knew, I knew

You were too good to be true.
