Okay, it’s time to say goodbye,
I’m not dying nor will I be soon.
But I’ll be losing you which is just as bad-
I need you and it’s your own fault,
You’ve left me to live on my own in the wake of your beautiful assault.
Actually,
I’m lying.
I’m leaving you.
Leaving you for the moving on,
the moving on that’s just part of life,
the moving on that you can’t come with me for-
and damn I want you to-
Do you want to come too?
I think you do.
But you can’t,
And I can’t make you.
So for now I’ll love you,
And I’ll always die for you-
that should be enough
