I never said goodbye to you for a reason.

We were flung together
in the beginnings of June,
our love had a salty bite.
We always had an expiration date.
As the days roll on now with you gone
I miss those soft and gentle hands
each crease and fold in your young skin
holds a piece of me.

I never said goodbye to you for a reason.

Towards the end it was bitter.
I know your unforgiving eyes all too well.
The addiction that you were
has left me in need of your love
and the knowing that if I had it
I would be worse off.
I couldn't let myself be hurt.
But I will forever miss your
watermelon kisses
and your smoke flavored laugh.

I never said goodbye to you for a reason.
