She sat on the floor, hugging herself, holding herself together, waiting for her husband to get home. They were fighting too much lately, he was always home late now adays, blamed it on his work.
But she knew better.
This was breaking her, tearing her to pieces, but it was the right thing. For herself and for their baby who was two years old.
She hears the door knob turns, and makes the biggest decision she has ever have to do.
Her husband walks in, home early for the first time in months. She picks herself up from the stare at each other until she speaks.
"I don't think I want this anymore," she whispers as she drops the ring to the floor. She says to herself: "You've left time you will stay gone, thats for sure."
He doesn't say anything, just stands there, his suitcase in his hand. He doesn't argue her decision, he knows she's stubborn. And it pains him too, but he knows its for the best.
She leaves the living room, and starts packing. She opens the door to her car, a green Honda.
She says,"No happily never after, that just aint for me, I know I deserve better after all, I'll never let another teardrop fall."
"Goodbye Roza," is the last thing she hears come out of his mouth.
Her answer was, "Say hello to goodbye."
( A year later)
Hey you stranger, how you been
Feels like i'm standing on the outside looking in
at the mess we left behind
And it's a long way to fall
I gave you everything I had
I gave it all
And then my heart was on the line
This is the first time they've seen each other since that night they went their separate ways. Whenever he wanted to see their daughter, he would contact Lissa, but he would never see her.
Rose knew she had given him everything she had, but all it had done, was put her heart on the line to get hurt, to get broken. And it had happened.
Now, there was no hope. Not anymore.
They stared at each other, and it was as if they could see all the harm, all the damage, the mess, they left behind.
I can't hate you
any longer
I know i'm going to miss you
I'll forget it and let it go.
There had been a time, shortly after she had left that she had hated him. Hated him for what he had done to her, for breaking her, for causing her pain.
She had missed him, he had missed her.
But soon enough they decided to let it go.
Say hello to goodbye, cuz its gone forever
No more trying, you and I
Not now, not ever
And i'll get by without you
I'm not going back again
I'm not going to lie to you
Cause, that was there and only then.
They tried enough times, tried to fix their marriage. Fix everything. But it had been to broken, irreparable the damage that have been done to their marriage.
To them.
Many times she had left, always going back, but this time, he knew it was real.
She wasn't going back.
Say hello to goodbye
Say hello..
And he'd learn what "Say hello to goodbye" meant.
And it was painful to admit it was his fault.
And is just how it has to be
Cause its a deadly combination, you and me
You know its undeniable
Even though we tried it all
We brought the worst out in each other
I recall
We can't act it anymore
They'd been a deadly combination, always bringing the worst out of each other.
They tried it all, counseling, vacations, sex... Everything.
And somewhere in time their love had been lost.
There was nothing to act on anymore.
What doesn't kill you
It makes you stronger
And though i'm gonna miss you
I'll forget it and let you go
At one point it felt like it would kill them. Being away from each other, being separated, but it hadn't. It had made them stronger though.
They'd learned a lesson.
Say hello to good-bye
Its gone forever
No more trying, you and I
Not now, not ever
And i'll get by without you
I'm not going back again
I'm not going to lie to you
Cause, that was there and only then.
Now, after a year of not seeing each other, it was like meeting for the first time.
Rose had hoped to never have to see Dimitri again, but considering how they had a kid together, it was impossible.
Say hello to goodbye
Say hello..
They said hello after what felt forever.
They talked and laughed, like friends, catching up.
But both knew there was more to them.
They had history together.
And even though the tears will dry
I can't completely disconnect
Couldn't make the compromise
Didn't have a safety net
Rose didn't cry every night before sleep anymore, she did however, think about him, dream about him often.
He was a part of her, a part she couldn't get rid of.
And although they both hated to admit it, they still held feelings for each other.
Say hello to goodbye
heeey ya ya
Say hello, goodbye
Say hello to good-bye
Its gone forever
No more tryin, you and I
Not now, not ever
And i'll get by without you
I'm not going back again
I'm not going to lie to you
Cuz, that was there and only then.
But it was too late.
So many words were said.
Many actions were done.
So much damage, pain, heart ache. It was too much to just put in the past and try.
Again.
Say hello, to goodbye
Say hello, to goodbye
Say hello, hello
to goodbye.
Nothing could be done anymore. They'd held to hope, but it was hard.
Hard to forget what he'd said to her.
What she'd said to him.
How much physical pain they'd both been in.
They would forever be apart, having to deal with the memories that haunted them.
There was no going back this time.
It was time to really say hello to goodbye.
