"Show me a hero and I'll write you a tragedy."- F. Scott Fitzgerald


I told him goodbye
Because Peter told me that goodbye meant forgetting
And I wanted to forget

I told him to smile
Because Theodore told me that it's easier forget than To remember and cry
I wanted him to remember

I told him goodbye
Because Desperaux told me that farewell was sad no matter how you said it
And I wanted to say farewell

I told him to stay strong
Because Max told me that it is harder to be left than to leave
and I wanted this to be easy

I told him goodbye
Because Clary told me that you could say anything to someone you won't see again
And I wanted to feel free

I told him to move on
Because Christopher Robin told me that if he never forgets he will never leave
And I wanted him to leave

I told him goodbye
Because William told me that I must say goodbye to be relieved from cruelty
And I wanted to get away

I told him it was worth it
Because Winnie told me that if saying goodbye was hard we were lucky
And I wanted to be lucky

I told him goodbye
Because Jimi told me that we will meet again
And I didn't want him to forget

I told myself goodbye
Because I told myself that trusting books and reckless people won't get you anywhere
And I said goodbye and was going places
