A Goodbye

by Maritza Quintero   May 13, 2015


But this is not a love story
This is not a love note
But I do love how you smile when I showed you new things,
But this is not a love note,
I love how you used to hug me when we said goodbye, a tight hug one with a lot of emotion,
But this is not a love note,
I love how you used to sit with me and make my day better,
But this is not a love poem,
I love how you used to always ask me about my day, even if it was uneventful,
But this is not a love poem,
I love how you used to say you would beat up my ex after he broke up with me,
But this is not a love story,
I love how you were my best friend, even if my mom never approved of you,
I love how you danced with me at my quinceañera,
I love how you gave me presents even when I didn't deserve it,
I love how you accepted my presents, when I was horrible at gift giving,
I love how we always laughed together,
I love how you knew my weakness as much I knew yours,
I loved the expression on your face when I messed up your hair,
I loved the way we poked each other until I would break,
I loved the way we stayed together even if we had other friends,
I loved the way we spoke for the absolute last time without knowing,
I loved, but can't no more,
This is not a love note,
This is not a poem of love,
This is not a love story,
This is a goodbye without a tight hug,
This is a goodbye for me, a consolation for my aching heart that misses you,
This is a farewell for my best friend, a end of my friendship with him.
