Don't Say Good-bye

I realized many things as the time passed

one of the more important ones being

how much I need and want you beside me

that you're so good, loving of a being


You were always around me, somewhere near

loving, giving, sacrificing and more

but I don't know why I wasn't even

thankful nor fully aware of your love


I was young and reckless, now I see it

I went for something that seemed to look good

I ignored and stepped over your presence;

I was proud and selfish but you were good


I hope it's not too late. Say it's alright

I'm Sorry; would you forgive like always

as you always did, like how you used to

say “no worries” to all of my mistakes


Hope it's not good-bye; hope to see ya soon!

  1. even though the rhyme scheme isn't complete, I think it makes a great poem in itself. It really touches on some deep topics. How one can be so inconsiderate and reckless when they are young, and how one does not realize how much something means to themselves only to realize it after it's gone. Sorta makes me think of my parents :)
