Why You Told Me Goodbye

Why
did you say goodbye?
We were fine
So why?

Did you not think I
was good enough for you
there was no-one else
there was no-one new

Did I have too little money?
Or was I too old
Or was I too cold, no not that
because I knew
that you loved me
Perhaps you wanted to be
more free
or didn't feel ready?

I bet
You'll be full of regret
and miss me
when I'm rich and famous
and I'll buy
a big house
just to prove you were wrong
to make me cry
and you'll die
all alone
in a much smaller home
far away from my side
but not far away from my mind
without telling me why
why
you told me goodbye.
