It was the right thing to do.
It felt like it at least.1
Letting you go was hard.
Harder than i thought.
But you were on your way
and i had to understand.2
I love you, i don't care.
you chose that road and
now you'll stick by it.
no coming back to the way we used to be.3
You came back, and expected it to be the same.
are you crazy? i think you are.
maybe you should think back
to that night, when you decided to leave
without saying goodbye.4
did you remember it was my birthday?
did you forget all the promises we made?
i said i understood, and honestly i do.
but i can't bring myself to say those three little words again.5
i guess it's time to say,
i don't mean them anymore.
i love you, no i don't.
i need you to understand.6
remember that one night
when you whispered in my ear
'baby i'm here and always will'
why did you have to lie?
i trusted you, and you betrayed
the love i held for you.7
so now that i've moved on
you had to come back and ask again
well this time i will say no
because it's the right thing for me to do.8
i was happy with you
now i'm happier without.
please understand,
this isn't my fault.9
you were the one that left.

I thoughtful piece. The main message here is strength of the person writing this. Love is wonderful but it makes you a slave of your heart - this girl (I assume girl - especially if it close to some real event) has grown. I think it probably is a girl, because guys tend to grow up later than the opposite sex.
As I said, she has strength - and with it, common sense, reflected in the last line.
Last line on stanza 3 should be "the" not "they".
You mention the three simple words you can't say, but I think you actually say them a few times - i could be misreading this, but think about that one.
Good one - very good and close to the heart.

np - you should consider posting it in as a work of creativity. Writing always has a bit of personal in it (at least) - but it is, of course, up to you.

a work of creativity? you mean like a tag for it?

sorry - I mean post it as a story, or as a Poem on the sister site, instead of a journal. As a journal, it doesn't get much exposure.

I wish people could understand how much you mean to me. 1 My heart skips a beat, cliche. I love you so much, Not true. I can't live without you, lie. I love you, 3 words that are over used. 2 I don't remember the last time when saying i love you actually meant something. 3 Sex is the new makingon Aug 4 2:25 AM, In First person, Hope, Inspirational, Love, Personal, Poem, Romance. 200 words. → 6 comments, Add one?
