No Goodbye

It all began with a ride

And I think back

And wonder what I was thinking

Where did my senses go?

My lips curl at the thought

Of riding in the car with a boy

But this was no simple matter

Or was it?

The beginning was so simple

Yet it got so complicated

Life gets messy

When it comes to the heart

That’s just what happened

I let my heart get involved

My senses left me

I shouldn't have

But I did

And now it’s done

I can’t go back

I’m not sure if I want to

There was no goodbye

Just a time to go

And the simple words of hope

See you later

I don’t want to hear them now

Or ever again

Why couldn't it have been?

Goodbyes aren't that hard

It would have been easier than this

But I’m left with this

Because I was left behind

Here I am

My thoughts surround me

The memories take my mind

Silence remains for now

As I think to myself

I’m left here

With an unspoken goodbye

And I wish it had been said

It would be easier for me now

If only you’d said goodbye

But you didn't

Because it was too hard

All you could say was ‘See you later’
