The day I said goodbye
My life crashed
I felt worthless
I felt trashed.
The day I said goodbye
I prayed for the truth
You kept your mask
You hid from me the sooth.
The day I said goodbye
I lost my faith
I no longer knew you
It was like you're a wraith.
The day I said goodbye
I tried not to cry
The pain was too much
I wished I'd just die.
The day I said goodbye
I lost hope
Gone are our dreams
I might just pull the rope.
The day I said goodbye
I stopped to approach
I saw in your eyes
There was no self-reproach.
The day I said goodbye
I wanted to stay
You never said the words
I longed for you to say.
The day I said goodbye
You held my hand
I saw in your finger
Your missing wedding band.
The day I said goodbye
I thought of our promise
I can't fathom
How it became a premise.
The day I said goodbye
I lost my love
There was no more forever
I doubted The One above.
The day I said goodbye
I thought the pain would end
It was afflictive
I must mend.
The day I said goodbye
It was hard letting you go
I wish you well
You'll never know.
The day I said goodbye
My heart turned stone-cold
It reached its limit
It's the ultimate threshold.
The day I said goodbye
I thanked the distance
Perhaps it'll help us
Find our acceptance.
