I love you more than words can express.
That's why I think distance is for the best.
I'm selfish and I'm a liar.
I said I would keep working but I retired.
I can't even be upset because you are right.
You would do much better without me in your life.
I don't want that to be true,
but still, I will not reach out to you.
My commitment is embarrassing,
My love is a shame.
I will be hurt for ever,
but in few months you will forget my name.
So from my lips no true thought will be told.
I would rather die silence than feel that I owe.
I will put my cushioned delusions aside,
and ignore my heartbeat as I wave goodbye.
