Goodbye Love

He spent one last night with me
Before I watched him pack up and leave
"I'll only be gone for a few months,"
He told me
I still could not take it
The first man that I had ever loved
I could feel the heat on my face
As soon as he was gone
And I watched him pull away
I brought myself together
Went to my room
Tasted the salt along the way
I Cried
I Cried
I Cried

Over the summer we stayed in touch
As much as we could
One time when I called him
He told me that he was back with his ex
"It's what I always wanted. I love her!"
Did he not know that I loved him?
I hung up the phone on him.
He then texted me, saying that he
Didn't understand why I was upset.
My face was getting redder
I tried to pretend that I wasn't phased
I went to the bathroom and
I Cried
I Cried
I Cried

When the next semester came
He told me that he was done with her
We went back to how we were before
Dates, cuddling, spending nights together
Waking up and doing it again the next day
Until his roommate told me,
"He's still in love with her."
I confronted him with it
And he told me that it was true
I told him not to talk to me
Left his room
Went upstairs to my friends room
I Cried
I Cried
I Cried

Later that semester
He pulled me aside after class
"I'm leaving school in December."
I didn't know what to say
I didn't know what to do
We hadn't spoken for months
I told him that I wished him the best
And that I hoped that he found his happiness
The first man that I had ever loved
Was leaving me in a few weeks
I was broken up, but by now
I had seen him for what he really was
I Cried
I Stopped
I Sighed
I Smiled
I Moved On
