Au Revoir

Wouldn't it be nice?
To forget the woes,
The tears and cutting words,
To just forgive and forget?

But I can't, not today.
Though I long to see your smile,
To imagine your laughter,
These tragic wounds breed regret.

It's a sorrowful feeling,
Wondering if we could ever speak,
Ever listen to each other again.
Can't you understand?

My heart is ripped to pieces,
Though I pretend it's nothing,
Make like I haven't a care in the world.
Maybe you just can't comprehend.

It's a feeling here,
Thud, thud, thud in my chest.
I regret because you will never see me again;
I long to forget but that simply isn't a choice.

Goodbye, sweet girl.
I'll remember you despite unkind farewells.
Know that I will always know what I have done,
and think "Wouldn't it be nice?"
