Goodbye Nicole
by Barbara Lynn Terry

She talked to me
that she couldn't be
my lover, my wife
because she had found
someone else in her life.

I tried to tell her that she
could be here with me
and she said no way
because she'd rather be
away from me.

So I knuckled up like a growing pup
and said good luck, goodbye
and I will cancel the flight
that would take me to you
and that is the thing I cannot do.
 

I have my life to live,
life goals to complete
so many years I have strived
to be this girl in me
and to that end
I must be true to me.
