Its time I say goodbye
A final goodbye I'll say
I had waited patiently
But you ain't forthcoming
You professed undying love
Before you left
In search of greener pastures
I waited
20 years gone by just like chaff
Getting older by each passing day
Passing the bloom of youth
I watch my mates move to their matrimonial home
While I wait forever
Entangled in the circles of love
Saying no to a thousand suitors
With the candle of love burning brightly
Filled with dashed hope
Frustration and disappointment
20 years of toiling in singleness
It's time I move on with my life
Countless messages I've sent
With no feedback forth coming
I see no future with us Frank
Your eyes no more sparkles at my presence
This is just more evidence that I've been cast off
I made sacrifices
I'm past menopause already
But I'm willing to start off a life without you
As I see your face at this video conferencing room
May I not stumble upon you ever again
As I travel off to begin a new phase of my life elsewhere
Never come looking for me
I've found someone with not so much
And we'll stick by each other through thick and thin
These were my parting words to Frank, my one time lover who ditched me with the claim of going in search of greener pastures, At 40 I'm fortunate to meet my prince charming. I love you Charles and I hope my starting afresh in a new land gives us more than enough reason to smile with Elena, our adopted daughter in the picture
