Ill Fated Love Affair

The time has come for me to go,
You had no clue, you didn't know.
That my departure was drawing near,
Time to say goodbye to a love once held dear.

"It's for the best", I say with no delight.
Constantly, we argue, fuss, demean and fight.
It's not your fault and certainly not mine,
It's a parting of the ways, cruel to be kind.

We tried to have the perfect love affair,
Together we had something we thought was so rare.
The test of time surely did us in
And left us lost, it's not a sin.

I'll think of you as the sun starts to fade,
Remembering with pleasure the sweet love we made.
Goodbye for now, not all things last
You're now a memory, a part of my past.
