My Love, Goodbye

The most painful memories are the times in the early days when you would say, "Just don't leave me."

I threatened and I wanted to. But I never did.

I hold you one last time in my mind as long as I need to, to let you go, and I hold you forever in that place in my heart where I've loved, until the hurt heals over.

Though your end was unkind, I have no bitter goodbye.

My love, goodbye.

Well written poem. I've been where you are right now. It sucks and hurts but it goes away.

I just "met" you, but I'm so sorry! Breakups are hard.
