You're walking away,
your bags have been packed
for awhile now.

Staring at the door,
with your hand on the knob,
you suddenly turn around
and smile in a way..
that I'll miss everyday..
for a lifetime.

Just go, don't wait
for waiting brings hopes.
Hopes that tear my heart apart.

Taking a step closer,
you take my hand and
as a tear slides down my face
you say,
"I'll never forget you..
inside, I will always love you."

I never thought I'd live to see this day.
But with one last embrace, you're gone.
The sound of the door closing behind you
makes me want to take my last breath of life.

You left, you couldn't wait.
For waiting would bring hopes,
hopes that would tear your heart apart.

i didn't seem to find it quite as sad as everyone else did...maybe being on the either end of this poem many times before has something to do with it...life (and love) goes on. this poem is wonderfully written. very clear, very expressive. i especially like the variance on the repetition for the end. nice spin and very true. not one sided and i like that. nice job overall.
