Good-Bye For Now Poem by Samantha Rak

Good-bye for now 
Until you realize 
That what you've been looking for
Is right here
Who you've been searching for
Is wiping her tears away
She walks away
Turning slowly 
Hoping you'd stop her 
But you just smile 
Happy in the moment
Not noticing her fade away
The smiles she kept just for you 
Falling away into oblivion 
The heart she handed to you 
Dropping from your fingers
Forgotten
Torn to shreds
And yet you still do not notice her!
She was there 
Always!
And you went for the one who hurt you before
When the one who was there only wanted to heal!
You say she is unforgettable 
And yet you aren't speaking with her
You say she was a dove among crows
But you've used that line before
How many false words must you enunciate before she loses her mind?
How long until you realize that you were wrong?
Wrong about the choice you made 
Wrong about the words you spoke
The stories you told
She laughed for you 
She grieved for you
She was there to listen when no others were
And yet you've dropped her 
Like a forgotten toy
So goodbye for now
When you finally  see what you've lost
She will already be gone
