A Goodbye Is A Goodbye

Usually it's hard to say, but I found a way to do it better

Hey Lady,
If I could have this one last moment of your golden time,
If you are reading this at all,
It simply means my worst nightmares have come to life.
My entire world has gone dark and beyond,
Because my most desired Queen has denied my request.

Hey Lady,
I don't think you would have wanted this,
Or even planned for us to be like this.
Maybe all you ever saw in me was just a good friend,
And for some reason, I can believe that thought.
I can understand that thought.
And things may have taken an unexpected turn.

But hey Lady,
I want you to know, despite all of this,
Despite the way things have turned around,
I want you to learn this part:
Accept the truth and move on.
Because, no matter the plans we make,
We have to live with the choices we make.
And I wouldn't mind being remembered by you, once in your life,
For having done something like this—
Having written such sweet words
About you, like no one else ever did;
About you, like no one else ever can.

But the truth is, Lady,
I want you to be happy no matter the odds.
I will be long gone now, far beyond your reach,
To be the lone wolf, never to be the same,
To be better in life and starting all over again.
And despite what I can feel at these times,
My truth remains unchained,
And always remains the same.

Hey Lady,
Be happy in your life.
Smile like you always did.
Laugh like you always did,
Back then, when we always met.
And simply be grateful that your smile alone
Was enough to change my whole life;
That you will always be remembered in my life
At my toughest times, so I can be
Brave enough to make it through alive.
Never to be in your way, never to hold you back—
Simply moments of you I will cherish in my mind alone.
Having never really lost, despite the outcomes,
Because all I ever wanted was for you to smile like a Cheeky Panda at all times.

But the truth is, sweet Lady,
A Goodbye Is A Goodbye.
