A Perfect Goodbye
I didn’t give you a perfect goodbye
I should have stood up
As you left
Wrapped my arms around you
And not let go
Please stay.
Don’t leave.
If I’d have known
It would have been so different
You would have left with a smile on your face
I still think about this day
That horrible night
Filled with missed opportunities
I didn’t give you a perfect goodbye
