Maire...

How do I say this?

That I love you, so I have to let you go.

I'm dangerous and wild like a flame,

mean and angry like the Grinch,

while you're sweet like candy and extremely nice.


We're polar opposites and like magnets, we attract, 

but now it is time for us to detach from one another,

time for me to let you be, to set you free.


Your life is already hard enough,

trust me, I know, I've seen it firsthand,

that me being with you will just make things worse

under you aunt's hand.


I want to keep your pure soul just that, pure,

not poison it with my own wicked one, 

the flames encompassing my heart lashing out at your own.


You are safer without me, so it is time for me to go.

But remember, please remember, the words on every note,

the songs of my heart, 

the blood rushing through my veins, 

the flesh covering my bones,

because I sure will remember you.

I'll remember your laugh, and the taste of your lips, 

remember your hugs and the curves of your hips, 

but most of all I'll remember your smile,

that could brighten my entire day,

even when you had absolutely no words to say.

I'll be close, yet far, far, yet close.


This is goodbye,

an adieu, a farewell.

Goodbye Maire,

from your secret admirer, me.
