You could have...

When you deserve a goodbye..

You could have said goodbye.
Smiled at me for one last time.
Held me only for a second.

You could have given me a reason.
I wasn't what you expected.
Needed more than I could give.

You could have kissed me softly.
Made love to me as a parting gift.
Taken me on one last ride.

You could have looked me in the eyes.
But you left without a word.
Now I'm left with nothing but a question.

Why didn't you?.....

my pleasure

I like the way this one builds up with statements and then closes with a final question, which is the crux of the poem. In three words we feel all of the speaker's pain. Well done,
