I knew you would soon be gone. You were leaving me behind. You were going to walk away, it was just a matter of time... I should have said good-bye. I saw you board the train and ride into the night. We would never meet again, but, then again, we might. So, I did not say good-bye. Your memory haunts my heart. Your voice is on the wind. Your ghost dreams with me at night. It has become my friend. So, I need not say good-bye. Every so often I hear of you. Rumors float my way. I heard that you got married and I didn't know what to say... But I did not say good-bye. Thirty lonely years have passed and I heard you passed away. I didn't know how to act. I felt empty in a way... because I never said good-bye. |

TennesseeAngel~ This was a sad little render - Touched my heart, it did ! 'Your ghost dreams with me at night. It has become my friend.' A sad thought ... but a lovely thought. Love ya', gal. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Tennessee Angel, sometimes, we never say good-bye. . . because they never really leave us. . . Simply beautiful and heartfelt my friend. . . ------------------------------------------------------ That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |
