I'Ll Say Good - By

I'll say good - by now It's been wonderful Knowing you. As I sit and think of us. And the memories of having you close to me. Watching you while you sleep Touching your warm body Laying mine next to yours. Going through the years with you Knowing you would be there Now it's time for us to part. I'll say good - by now. March 10, 1975 - 77 ? wrote long ago

For a time whats yours is mine. Until that fateful day. We share so much, a gentle touch and then we're on our way. Beyond this trist, we now exist to not know what's in store. Tomorrow has the only key to open up the door. Peace. :) Nice poem from yesteryear.

Even though there was all the good stuff, there must have been a lot of pain inflicted to bring you to this point. Somehow, you sum up the sadness and loss you feel even though you did the right thing. You capture the toughness of the decision in a special way.

I like this, Debbie. It reads like a rather different situation - and does it very movingly - Red
