Say It with Flowers
©2012 Susan Noyes Anderson
Has it really been a decade
since you were in my arms?
Ten years ago, I bid farewell
to you and all your charms.
Time passes when you’re having fun,
and I’ve been A-okay.
I said good-bye, good riddance on
the day you walked away.
I never missed you for one moment;
months flew quickly by.
My life with you was not a dream,
and you’re the reason why.
You taunted me, belittled me,
and called me a reject.
It was the best day of my life
when you chose to defect.
I’d always heard that breaking up
was oh-so-hard to do.
But it was oh-so-easy, darlin’,
breaking up with you.
So Happy Anniversary!
This decade has been swell.
May all you gave come back to you,
and may you go to…..(an eminently suitable destination.)
