Goodbye, Dear Sally

I think I loved you

But I was too content

Feelings I can't present

The window closed

Like it did many times before you

My life is a repeat

Of many ill fated love campaigns

And seering long migraines

Eventually

My mind has no light

Although I seem airtight

I keep thinking of things I could of said

I'm suffocating with limerance

Constantly

Make of this as you will

I cling like a tapeworm

I'm not sure you know my name

Is this what it feels like to go insane

Goodbye, Dear Sally, Goodbye Dear Sally

Goodbye, Dear Sally, Goodbye, Dear Sally

I think I loved you, I think I loved you.

mine was also named Sally. 35 years and it still stings.

Sally isn't a person I personally know that's specifically why I went with that name. Like this isn't even about one person in particular but about my tendency to develop intense feelings about people I barely know.
