How dare you.

How dare you say goodbye

After leaving such emotion attached

Only to break it away.

How dare you.

I thought that we would stay together

That we would be brought together again

But goodbye is a permanent thing.

How dare you.

You made me think you cared.

You just took my heart

And cut it loose so soon.

I thought I loved you

But now that you’ve said goodbye

I can only hate you

For loving you so much.

I hate the way you made me laugh

Laughing so hard you made me dry.

I hate the way you made me smile

The way I never did before.

I hate the way you did every little thing.

How close we became

And how you made me feel.

You were the only one that made me feel complete.

I hate the way you said my name.

I hate that glimmer in your face

With the gleam in you eyes.

Oh how you deceived me.

You said “It will only be a while”

And that you’ll “return before you know it.”

But then why say goodbye,

If you were to return to my side.

Why not a ‘see you later’

Or a ‘I’ll be back’

Without a ‘goodbye’ attached?

Was that a sign?

Did you say goodbye knowing what would happen?

That you would never return?

A feeling of foreboding

That you felt was definitely coming.

I waited for you

In the months that passed

Yet you never returned.

But still I kept hope.

It wasn’t till that day

That someone that wasn’t you came to my door.

In the same uniform I remember you wore.

Bringing his hat down as I opened that door.

That was when my world came down.

What he said I couldn’t believe

And how you left me.

You actually left!

I don’t care if I’m being selfish

You were mine only

And you left for others

Never returning again.

You lied

And I believed you

As you believed yourself.

We both thought that you would come home.

Forever I will remember our last moments

And how the tears fell.

You left loved and a hero

And left the world the same way.

But really,

How dare you

You actually said goodbye

But still made me think you’d return.

Now I’m alone

Without the one I truly loved.

And what for?

A war that didn’t resolve still with your efforts.

I cry for you

Your sweat, blood and tears

Your sacrifice

Your life.
