I Could Say

But I will say

I could say I no longer love you

And hide the fact that I care,

Sadly I would still miss you terribly

Whenever you are not there.

***

I could say that we are finished

And send you on your way,

I would probably just keep wishing

That you would decide to stay.

***

I could say that I no longer need you

Even go ahead and find someone new,

But he would never be able to make me feel

The way I always feel with you.

***

I could say I never really wanted you

And pretend this was all a game,

But that wouldn’t help my pain

I’d feel heartbroken all the same.

***

You’ve given me no choice but to say

“Goodbye I know that you want to go,

But please always remember

That I’ll forever love you so”.

About the Creator

Colleen Millsteed

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
