There is a brilliant Jeff Buckley song and it is called Last Goodbye. I'll copy the most relevant verses and chorus.
This is our last goodbye
I hate to feel the love between us die.
But it's over
Just hear this and then I'll go:
You gave me more to live for,
More than you'll ever know.
Well, this is our last embrace,
Must I dream and always see your face?
Why can't we overcome this wall?
Baby, maybe it's just because I didn't know you at all.
Kiss me, please kiss me,
But kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation.
Oh, you know it makes me so angry 'cause I know that in time
I'll only make you cry, this is our last goodbye.
The brilliance is in how perfectly and succinctly it describes us. Why is there always a wall between us?
I'm too weird for you, too eccentric. You care so much about the opinions of others, how will you ever accept me, somebody who cares very little if at all?
As I am writing this you wondering how and why I could be so pathetic. I am pathetic really but not in that way. I haven't lied to you.
The only thing I can offer are a few words of condolences. I'm doing this for the both of us so we can both keep our sanity. I want to say that I am sorry for the grief caused and time wasted. I don't think it was wasted time because you've done so much for me in our very short time together but you might. You're a wonderful person, you just don't know it and I'll always have feelings for you.
