Array ( [sid] => 89053 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Goodnight [time] => 2005-03-28 12:08:54 [hometext] => It's hard coming to terms with life, and realizing that there's no way to fix things when you simply waited to long to act. Hope you can make heads or tails of this one. [bodytext] => Goodnight,
If only for tonight.
I have solemn faith
You’ll finally see the light.
When tomorrow comes
We won’t pick up this fight.
So goodnight,
If only for tonight.

I miss your smile,
And words you’d often speak.
I miss your face,
Has it been just a week?
What lie was told
That finally made us part?
Who knew false words
Couldn’t mend a broken heart…

This thing won’t last,
You mean too much to me.
It’s just the past,
There’s so much more to see.
We skipped ‘hello,’
No need for pleasantries.
But forgive me now,
When all I say is 'please.'

Goodbye,
If only for today.
No heated words,
There’s no more left to say.
I have my faults,
And you loved me anyway.
Can I say goodbye…
And leave you where you lay…?

reminds me of a lot of my past situations except they seemed to last longer than a day or even week. excellent poem, but thats no surprise. what would be surprising is if you wrote less than perfect. goodbyes, so many people hate those words, but without them nothing would ever change except the relationships quality.

Beautiful poem, very moving with a taste of sadness.. I felt it more of a poem about letting go and thats one of the topics that just rip my heart up.. this was a fantastic write. The second stanza I enjoyed it set the mood and feeling for the whole poem and then ending was very sad with the '...' and the '?' at the end.. amazing write.
