Enveloped, I said goodbye (words I never said)

I let you go; I said goodbye.

I let you walk out the door;

love followed.

But you-

you slammed it shut,

let the cold envelop you,

left me in the warmth.

 

But you-

no, you, I let you go.

Love followed;

out the door, slammed it shut.

I said goodbye, in the warmth.

I let the cold envelop you.

 

But you were warm;

I let you go,

love followed.

The door slammed shut.

I said goodbye,

enveloped in the cold.

 

Enveloped in the cold,

I let you go.

I slammed the door.

You were warm;

love followed.

I should have never said goodbye.
