8. before i leave

before i leave,

i just want you to know

that i loved you the most,

the apple of my eye,

even just a “hi”

was enough for me,

i cry knowing

i’ll never see you again,

in just a few months,

you’ll forget about me,

i laughed the loudest

around you,

but now i find it

harder to smile,

i’ll miss the beauty

of you,

and all the times

you made me better,

i wouldn’t be half

the man i am

if not for you,

but now,

life sends us

on our own paths,

wish i could go

and travel with you,

but i wasn’t meant

for the fairytale ending,

sometimes i wish

that i could be the hero

in a story,

but i’m always destined

to be stuck in the background,

you’ll be a star

and i’ll be the faded memory,

the one that never had a shot,

i wish i could’ve told you

everything i’d wanted to say,

but just know

that i hope you make

the best of it all,

i hope you live

in pure happiness

and become royalty,

you deserve that

more than anybody else.

i guess this is goodbye.

i love you.
