I remember the look in your eyes
when you first thought of leaving me.
Perhaps I could have put the fire out then
with an "I love you."
But the naturalist inside me decided
to let it rage
I remember where I was when you
realized you were too good for me.
I was selfishly basking
in your company.
Perhaps I could have said something
to make you stay.
By now, you are probably
halfway to the place you
fantasized of being while
you were with me.
I remember when you left.
And I bid thee farewell.
