All these years...now goodbye

by Matthew Schut   Oct 30, 2008


I walk along the side walk
Remembering the good ole days
The days used to be filled with laughed
And never running out of things to say

I would try to surprise you
With something new each day
Always trying to impress you
Never wanting the love to fade away

I remember the long nights
And the times we slept under the stars
Holding each other as close as we could
And even the nights, sleeping in the car

There are so many wonderful moments
So many memories that I hold dear
I could talk about them forever
Memories that will never disappear

Oh how I was in love, a love so deep
A love that could take me to our special world
A world that only me and you were there
Our perfect world we called it, you being the perfect girl

Marriage was our answer, a perfect pair
Nothing was going to get in the way of forever
People looked at us with jealousy in their eyes
Because we looked so happy and cute together

We would always take pictures, of those wonderful moments
Those moments that took my breath away
Words could not express the feelings
And the love grew more and more each day

But something came in the path
Something tore us apart
We decided to walk separate ways
And broke both of our hearts

Now when I walk past these places
I can only think of how great we were
How forever did not seem long enough
But now your love is just a blur

I see you around and I wonder who you are
Who is this stranger standing in front of me
I remember briefly about the moments we shared
And think about how we could be

But then reality kicks in
And I realize you are gone
Your name is familiar
But the beat is gone to our love song

So forever that used to be written all over us
Is now just a memory in the past
If you ever come back to me, I have to say no
Because though you mean a lot, we will never last

So how can I say goodbye, goodbye to the one that showed me how to love
Goodbye to the person that I gave my complete heart to
Goodbye to the memories of the past three years
But I know that I will be better off without you...
