Would it help to say, “I love you”,
Though I have to go away?
Would it help to say, “I find I need you-
More and more each day”?

Would it help to say, “So hate me”-
Though I doubt you ever would?
Would it help to say, “I’d love to stay-
And would, dear, if I could”?

But the trick of fate decrees it-
I simply have to pack and go.
I never would have dreamed that-
I’d ever grow to love you so.

I have to leave you sad, and crying...
And I’ve cried a bit myself.
I’d tell you that I love you-
If I really thought ‘twould help.< !signature-->

Dear Troubadour, goodbye is nearly always difficult...you've wrung so much sadness from this scene with your verse. As always, I remain in admiration of your abiity and insight.

~ Claire

Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau

"I think it would help to say I love you
Just so the one would know
That goodbye hadn't come easy
And that your mind say's don't go
Give her the joy of knowing
And leave with your true feelings showing
Just let her know you love her
At least once before you go...."
~Cuddlez~

Time flies? Say it not so, time stays we go.

It would help. We all need to know that we mattered to someone... even if fate decrees that it isn't to be. *S* This is beautiful, GS...
