Goodbye My Lover

He called me.

Messy and all, his silence was deafening.

He knew he made the promise.

The promise that, he will never think about her, ever again, after that letter.

But this 'feelings' thing is a very complex, "thing".

"Be understandng," he pleads to everyone.

This, this is his farewell to her. Everything in this post, it reflects what they had together. Everything.

This is the promise. This, he told me with quevering lips, is the final one.

"Enough of empty promises!" he bellowed.
"This is my promise."

He sang this with his heart.

Now, use yours. Use your heart and feel this.

Are you listening?

This is entitled, Goodbye My Lover by James Blunt.

Did I disappoint you or let you down?

Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?

'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,

Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.

So I took what's mine by eternal right.

Took your soul out into the night.

It may be over but it won't stop there,

I am here for you if you'd only care.

You touched my heart you touched my soul.

You changed my life and all my goals.

And love is blind and that I knew when,

My heart was blinded by you.

I've kissed your lips and held your hand.

Shared your dreams and shared your bed.

I know you well, I know your smell.

I've been addicted to you.

Goodbye my lover.

Goodbye my friend.

You have been the one.

You have been the one for me.

I am a dreamer and when i wake,

You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.

And as you move on, remember me,

Remember us and all we used to be

I've seen you cry,I've seen you smile.

I've watched you sleeping for a while.

I'd be the father of your child.

I'd spend a lifetime with you.

I know your fears and you know mine.

We've had our doubts but now we're fine,

And I love you, I swear that's true.

I cannot live without you.

Goodbye my lover.

Goodbye my friend.

You have been the one.

You have been the one for me.

And I still hold your hand in mine.

In mine when I'm asleep.

And I will bare my soul in time,

When I'm kneeling at your feet.

Goodbye my lover.

Goodbye my friend.

You have been the one.

You have been the one for me.

I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.

I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.

I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.

I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.

"Now, will she even be listening to me?" he asked solemnly.

"People say, that 'goodbye' is one of the hardest word to say."

"I didn't know that till the day I had to, had to say that word."

"You were my lover, you were my friend."

"You were my only but now, you've made me so lonely."

"Its been more than a year already," he said.

I was listening quietly.

"But it's still lingering, strongly," he added.

"She's a lucky girl my boy." I said.

"She must have been a special one."

Silently, his final words, reluctantly

were:

"Goodbye my lover."

"Hey, are you listening?"

I wish she is. I really do.
