As she said goodbye

I knew right then

That I would never see her again

So I whispered in her ear

Remember me

And she understood, yes

The tears in her eyes held so much pain

Not just because of me

But because for the one she loved

I held the key

So as she went, I said

Be a good girl

And as she looked back

One more time

I could tell that she knew it was about time

For me

To leave
