It’s Still Goodbye

We speak still from time to time

But I know you will never be mine

Years can’t change the pain I’m feeling inside

The roads we travelled have been far too long

It’s not filled with love or hope but I guess this is where I belong

*

I remember how it used to be

You told me that you loved me

I said I loved you too

And though I’ll never tell you, I guess I still do

*

There’s no pretending in my fantasy

The one where I still kiss you

And you hold on to me

Still feeling your body warm and snuggled next to mine

*

I know you and I will never meet as friends

Emails and texts’ maybe just now and again

I wish I could say this was fine

But it just reminds me of how you meant it when you told me goodbye
