For You: Goodbye!
New woman, I am, ready to get up and go!
I never thought that I would lie,
I never thought that I would stray,
But now, I like someone else.
I don't have much more to say...
Except,
You are a shadow of my heart
The past.. This is present.
And I hope you will accept, that my new love will be future

The author's comments:
I wrote a poem called "For You" telling this guy that I liked him, but now I like someone else, and I don't really know what to do... But I am confident in liking my new guy, and need to tell the old one, it's over, even though it never happened.
