I kissed your lips and said goodbye,
I turned and walked away,
I knew I would never again return,
To my lovely home to stay.
Its best to forget the times we spent,
When we were man and wife,
For the memories only bring back the pain,
Of the hurt I saw in your eyes.
I tried my best to make it work,
The months, the years, went by
Slowly my hopes and dreams faded
I felt as if I had died.
I tried to love for the two of us,
But then I realized,
That no matter how hard I tried
It was still no good--you had lied.
I thought my heart could break no more,
My eyes could never cry
I felt as if my body----
Had been drained--completely dry.
Its hard to give up one you love
But suddenly you realize,
That you cannot love for the two of you,
You have to say goodbye.
And so I left, never to return
Or see your tempting face,
But I often think back to the day,
Of a different time and place.
