It's Never "Goodbye"

I surprise myself with how much I don't care,
The fact remains that we never went there.
Of course, I wish it was me,
But you were always too blind to see.
You felt, but never really touched.
The distance and lies we're just too much.
I wouldn't even call them lies because I told you the truth,
Way before we started and you became aloof.
I probably helped your ego, and for that I don't want to be involved.
Saying "I love you", was something empty that I wish you never told.

I'm sorry if I let you down, I hope you don't remain bitter.
But I've been making up for lost time, but you regard it as litter.
I don't want to say goodbye, because we compliment each other,
We work really well, but it's time to de-clutter.

So I'll leave you now, with the girl with whom I was always aware.
I hope you work out, because she always loved you. Karma is always fair.
I know I won't forget you or the beautiful things you said,
And I have a feeling that out connection will never be put to bed.

You're the one that got away,
That's the way it will always stay.

Be happy whist we cannot be,
My love,
Because I must set you free.
