Goodbye My Love

Nothing lasts forever

You don't know it the day

When you say that

It'll last forever

Till you hear the words spoken for you

The adulation showered on you

And the tiny bits of care that once made your day

Now before the feet of someone else they lay

Till you see the way once your hearts were fond

And the courage you brought for each other

Given away to make another's way

And make his life what once your's was

It's when you realize

That the one you wanted to see the world with

Wants to find it by another pair of feet

That's when you know it's time

When the rage wears down

When the anxiety of envy flows past

When the peace of truth returns

That it was never meant to be

It's time to tell yourself

Nothing lasts forever

Not even the promise hidden in tears

Or the sacred vows that define love

It's time to tell yourself

That you're happy for her

That you wish nothing but the best for her

It's time for you to open your secret closet

Gather the packet where you've hidden her unpaired ear ring,

The small smiling picture of the both of you,

The white piece of silk perfumed with her kiss

The memories they've sheltered

And offer them to the will of waves,

Send them to the heart of sea where

They'll pass eternity in company of countless

Tokens abandoned by time

And when you offer those memories to the waves

That's when you gotta whisper 

The voice of your soul and say

'Farewell and Goodbye My Love'
