THE FINAL FAREWELL

(dedicated to all those who have given up on a love not returned)

The sun rises in the morning,
The moon sails across the sky at night
Now my heart is learning,
That farewell is in sight.

For a long time I ignored the truth,
I was caught by the things you said,
I’ve come to accept our love will have no root,
And that it is time to move ahead.

I’ve said silent farewells to you before,
Because this is not the first time you’ve hurt me,
But this time I’m closing the door,
On a love I’m accepting will never be.

So this is the final farewell, my heart,
And while I’m aching from the final blow,
I’ve accepted we will always be apart,
Because my aching heart tells me so.
