The Last Time I See You Poem by David Knox

When we were in this parking lot we said goodbye
I hugged you, held you tight... I don't always do that. I knew
You were going home, I wouldn't see you for four months.
But I guess I'll actually never see you again, you just disappeared
Yeah you have an amazing boyfriend now, but I didn't
Know that was goodbye forever...
I always called you mystery girl, but I know you
I knew you, we ar- were close friends.
Why did it have to turn out like this
Why can't I see you again
We talk about meeting up, but I don't think it's going to happen
I don't know if it's excuses- you are busy
I've never really said goodbye to a friend knowing it's forever
Not even more than a year, but somehow it's forever for you.

I guess we were close, I used to love you passionately
Maybe you even did love me, but your boyfriend made the effort
Took a step sooner.
He's the twice the man I am, maybe ever will be
Maybe when I'm his age I'll be like that.
But I don't think so

I'm too sad, too tired, too alone to rhyme
I guess I'll never see you again
I guess my rhymes will never b e about you again
So goodbye forever... no hug, no kind words, no physical presence
Not this time
I am happy for you... I really he am, happy for him too.

Then again maybe there is hope-
Maybe I'll be invited to your wedding
