Goodbye
Jan. 30, 2004

You came into my life and turned it all around
Like morning you presented a brand new day
And created a brand new me
Filled with change, hope and opportunity

You lifted me higher than I ever thought I could go
Yet disappeared so suddenly leaving me with nothing
But memories
And while memories are great
My heart, like the Grand Canyon, remains empty
Longing for completion once again

Laughing together until tears streamed from our eyes
And crying ourselves to sleep only to see you later in my dreams
Were the greatest experiences of my life
Now you’re gone and what you created seems to have died

When I see you now, you’re different
Like you and I were never WE
I never was as quick as you
Blinded by love I guess
The fire’s almost out; is it even burning at all?
Or are my eyes just showing me a glimpse of the flame we once shared
A flame long extinguished in your soul, but burning strong in mine

You’ve found new love
I guess it’s time for me to do the same
But before I go
Thank you
For everything
Thank you for me
And most of all, Thank you for this lesson

I know I’ll be seeing you again
Only now through different eyes
You have nothing more to offer me
So consider this last Thank You-
Goodbye.
