Goodbye - Collaboration

You didn't even wait for my reply Or for me to even ask why When you left a teardrop and a sigh With the note you left that said goodbye I'm left with just the memories Of how things used to be Of moonlit walks beneath the stars And early morning strolls by the sea I think you had to know before I left pearlescent love had somehow turned to gray. Although I knew that you would feel bereft, the joy had slipped away; I could not stay. Those memories, like a red rose pressed between a keepsake’s pages, cannot die. Bliss fades, but I’ll recall when love was best from time to time, and I too, Dear, shall cry Collaboration with Andrea Dietrich Thank you my friend, hugs

Who did you collaborate with Joseph? Touching poem, Rumi said, "goodbye is only for those who love with their eyes, for those who love with their hearts, there is no such thing as goodbye.."
