Farewell, you.

Goodbye,

A word that says so much in so little.

How do I leave you without crying,

Or finding myself gasping at every sigh?

How do I walk away with such a heavy heart,

Knowing that you have made a mark?

I care,

I really do.

If only you knew how much you mean to me.

Then again, if only.

At every urge I have to stop this cycle,

I look back and smile at the past,

Your words,

Our laughters;

And I flourish right back to the beginning.

I find myself asking,

"If I care so much for you;

Why leave?"

An answer descends,

Whispering silently like a breeze;

"Because it hurts too much."

How did such a love turn into hurt?

Did I take you for someone you were not?

Have I mistaken you for myself?

Who is the person I care for,

You or the person I thought you were?

My memory is failing me.

Vague memories of how I felt with you linger,

But the feeling has somehow ceased to exist.

I fear the vacuum that will come through,

Pushing us further and further away,

Till we reach a polar opposite end.

Must it come to that?

I withdraw,

Raising the white flag.

I still love you,

I still care deeply;

I do.

It is in this love that I am letting you go,

And keeping you in my heart;

For always.

Loves,

Ee Ping
