Goodbye. (it's time that i was gone...)

I scrawled my love in notebooks,
in lines i thought were true.
But now the ink lies meaningless
just a pattern made of blue.

The footprints that i wrote of,
graffiti'd on my heart
have washed away in times soft rain
now barely leave a mark.

So now if dark clouds loom
you'll have to walk alone.
I no longer stand beside you
as each other we've outgrown.

Now the lines I once wrote for you,
the words remain the same.
But it seems sentiments are transient,
Love blossomed to mild disdain.

Goodbye to you dear friend,
I thought would last forever
how wrong I was to think it true
when you told me "I love you"....
