so i say farewell
i'll let go of your coat tail
i'll let go of all the things that made me love you
like the tiny gap between your two front teeth
or the way your skin glistened in a day's morning sun

so i say farewell
its not like there won't be an imprint forever inked on my soul
it will be a reminder
for when i'm successful and wealthy
with lots of children and a loving husband
to not love them fully
because of the boy who stole my strength
the strength i was to pass onto them
\
so i say farewell
to the days where my youth shined bright
to the talks where i'd fall asleep with a genuine smile on my face
to the fights where afterwards i'd hate myself for caring so much
to the times where life was simple
but
now i say greetings to the life of fake smiles and empty conversations for your absence has made my life unbearable.
