He said, "Goodbye.", from the edge of the porch
Like she'd been some casual friend
He said, "You're better off without me,
I'm not what you need."
Like her mama had said about him.
He started the car, pulled out of the drive
Didn't waste any time looking back
She watched him go, thinking, even a stranger
Would show more compa**ion than that.
She could've cried, but she didn't have time
