Love Poem: Ok Bye

Ok Bye

Why is it that my heart clenches every time I see a picture of you?
Or hear your name?
Or think of you?
Is it because I still think of the promises you made?
The ones you broke without a second thought
How you said you would be willing to make things work even though there’s a big distance between us
You said I wasn’t a fling
You said you had feelings
You said everything felt right
You said you wanted something serious
You said I made you happy
You said…you said…you said…
Something changed in you, you became a different person
Keeping me at arm’s length away, pushing me out, keeping things from me 
At first, I couldn’t think of what I’d done, what I had done wrong
I wanted to fix things, I wanted to make things work, I had fallen so hard for you I didn’t want to give up
But it wasn’t up to me
December 21st is the last time I saw you, you said I’d see you before you left home
But history repeats itself and you didn’t keep your word
You went home early, I offered to drive 3 hours to see you for New Years
You refused, your buddies were more important
You kept pushing me away, I still don’t know why
Was I too young for you? Was I too clingy? Did I live too far? Was I too close to your sister? Did I fall too fast? 
Maybe it’s not really me, maybe it’s you
You want me out of your life and I’ll do the best I can
But I’ll tell you what you told me
The last thing you’ll probably ever say to me
Maybe this will be all that I remember of you
OK Bye
