Goodbye Because I Love You Poem by Loreli Perez

Goodbye Because I Love You

Rating: 5.0


Goodbye because I LOVE YOU

I need to go

Silence, tears versus needs

I need to say goodbye

I hate to see you crying

I'm miserable when I see you hungry

I feel like dying when you are sad



I need to go

I can control my tears

I can overcome my hunger

I can conquer my sadness

Because I LOVE YOU



I need to say Goodbye because I LOVE YOU

I need to go

For you to stop crying

For you to eat well

For you to reach your goal

For you to be happy

I'm not that far, just close your eyes and you will feel me

Because I LOVE YOU



One day

You will say

I LOVE YOU because you go

This poem is dedicated to a woman I've just met this weekend, we chat for a while and I can see myself in her when I bravely decided to work abroad.

The poem is based on mutual love in a relationship where parting seems to be the only solution. I quote- 'I'm not that far, just close your eyes and you will feel me'.
