After lots of heavy thinking,
Weighing out the good and bad,
I regret to inform you of my fairwell,
Leaving behind what's done and said.
I can no longer live like this,
Pretending it's all okay,
Having to lie to you all the time,
Rather, every single day.
If you cannot forgive me,
This I can understand.
You have the strength to move on
You've just got to be a man.
I did not start this lie,
You need to take the blame
I can't go back to pretending now,
It won't ever be the same.
Now I do not chose this goodbye,
It only comes automatic.
If you'd agree we can move on
That's the way I'd have it.
So, I leave you to the choice,
I'm just getting my point across.
I can't say this any other way,
The point would surely be lost.
Do not take this harshly,
We both knew this day would come.
Though I wish'd it come another way.
It's already been done.
With my final words,
I want us to move past, move on
Continuing our friendship,
The past, done and gone.
So now it lies with you,
Can you forgive and forget?
I'll be waiting for the answer,
Just know, I hold no regret. |

. You're getting the point across well, and poetically without diluting the essentials with rhyming clutter. When I read it out loud the second time there were some little hiccups in the flow, but then again that made the poem speak in a 'real-er' way.
