Good-bye

A/N: I’m gonna experiment here… the idea just came to me. So don’t blame me if it sucks. o_O And yeah, the lyrics aren’t mine. They come from Paulina Rubio’s “Don’t Say Good-bye” and this is like the exact opposite of what the song is really about. xD

Good-bye

Don’t say good-bye
Don’t turn away
It doesn’t have to end today
Don’t say good-bye
Til I will love you ’til 
The end of time
Don’t say good-bye

The words echoed in his head as he turned the keys in the ignition… they just didn’t want to seem to leave his mind. He knew that she was inside, tears streaming down her face. But, for some odd reason, even through all his anger, he knew that she did still love him.

Pushing the thoughts out of his mind, he started the small truck and began to back out of the driveway… but still, the words seemed to float through his tired and sore mind. It was beginning to drive him crazy, and it had only been a matter of minutes since she had looked deep into his eyes and said them.

He didn’t want to say good-bye, but he did anyways. He was tired of it, the hurt that she caused him even though deep down she “loved” him. It was a haunting feeling, knowing that even though she loved him to no end, she’d do what she did. It was a haunting and chilling and out right disturbing thought.

Don’t say good-bye

“But I have to!” he screamed, slamming his fist into the steering wheel, sending his horn blasting. Her voice just didn’t seem to want to leave his head. But he wanted it to, he wanted it gone. And for good this time, he wasn’t about to just go back and prepare himself to be hurt yet again.

Don’t turn away

As the words floated through his mind, he abrupted turned his head, just to make humor out of the tears his eyelids were showing him. He could imagine her sitting at the table… with genuine tears falling down her precious cheeks…

It doesn’t have to end today

“And who’s to say it won’t end tomorrow?” he asked as this phrase floated through his mind. He was fearful to close his eyes, to blink away the tears now forming – he knew that if he closed his own eyes, her face would appear and he would have to go back, and give himself to her, prepare himself to be hurt for a third time…

Don’t say good-bye

The spite was evident in his voice and he yelled the exact words she didn’t want to hear. He knew that if she was there, tears would be freely falling from her eyes and she’d be looking at him asking for forgiveness without saying a single thing. But he didn’t want that – he wanted away from her. “Good-bye my dear.”

Til I will love you ’til 
The end of time

He knew that she’d love him. She was a strange girl… she loved him to the end of time, it was evident as the fact that day was not night. But still, she felt the need to hurt him. He didn’t know, he didn’t want to know, how she did it. How could someone be truly in love, but still be so willing to hurt?

This was his final time saying good-bye to her. He wasn’t gonna say it again. He knew that, simply for the reason that he wasn’t gonna go back. He wasn’t going to be hurt. He wasn’t gonna feel that way again, knowing what she did.

Don’t say good-bye

With a soft smile, he turned onto the interstate. “Fine, dear. I won’t say it.” He could just imagine the brightness appearing in her eyes, had he said those words to her. “I’ll say farewell instead.”
