My last promise

If i promised to hate you,
would you tell me you still
want to care and promise to let me fall
ever so softly.

what if i promised to never care,
would you tell me that
you wished i could matter.

if i vowed to lose every piece of you
would you be sure
to tell me if i ever begin to matter.

i swear to never shed another
tear over you
if you just allow me
to say I'm sorry and goodbye
for the last time.
