A lover says goodbye to the one she loves.

Detaching From Reality 

I need to pull back, 

require time and space. 

Can't keep up 

without feeling misplaced. 

One day I'll be lost 

gone, from your life, with no trace. 

But will always long 

to see your face. 

~ 

Hold me close! 

Don't let me go! 

You can't see 

what you'll never know. 

The rain has 

turned to snow. 

Now it's time 

to let you go. 

~ 

Fly high, my Darling. 

Soar as far as you can. 

I will never love 

another man 

as wonderful as you. 

A new game plan, 

not a goodbye. 

~ 

I can't be in love anymore. 

It hurts too much. 

I'll be your friend and 

give you a chance to heal. 

You can't be my love, 

so I will conceal 

my feelings and be 

a friend who's real. 

~ 

Goodbye to my heart. 

Hello friend. 

Goodbye reality. 

Hello land of pretend. 

Goodbye to the heights of love. 

Hello to the hell I now descend.
