Just went away

You didn’t say, just went away
and killed the dream that filled my day.

I really thought I knew you well;
but, deep inside, you planned to flee
and didn’t tell. You gave no hint
about the end, like… ''I don’t need
you for a friend.'' Neither said we
didn’t care, but suddenly you
were not there.

                      I can’t dismiss you
with a sigh. It matters that you
say, ''goodbye .''

                        So smile, and blow a
kiss before you go. Never run
away and leave a friend to grieve.
