NOT EVEN GOODBYE
Daniel Jeremy Perz

It seemed so long ago
It was then the flow
was disrupted so
I felt unbearably low
Without your love
Why did you deny me your love?
Why the sudden departure
I thought we’d been joined in rapture
At first
you’d lured
me to your cool demure
For which I’d thirst
for day in and day out
The first time you gave me a shout
I’d felt so foolish
that my wish
had come true
Foolish that you
Had chosen to flirt with me
What could you possibly see?
Could there ever be a "we"
Am I the key
to your heart?
Is that the reason to start
and then break us apart?
I felt the connection
Why’d you put me up for rejection?
I miss you now
Please tell me how
You convinced yourself to forget
those special moments we’d spent
But I don’t fret
for much longer I bet
You’ve already forgotten
You know soon
I’ll forget you
too
