Keepsake From You

If you try to leave,
Don't say you loved me.
It's hard for me to say,
I love you too.

If you smile
With tears in your eyes,
You leave me feeling conscience,
With guilt and foreboding in my heart.

If you walk away,
Don't look back.
You leave an impression,
To keep you holding then.

Try to keep memorable things in secret.
For you're in loneliness state,
You can try looking at it knowing
Hit back as your memory lane.

Hello Hugo, I sense this person can not make her mind as to what steps to take. She either wants to leav e or she can not d3ecide what to do. Much love here. /Darlene/

Hello Hugo, Yes leaving is a sad goodbye. True not every love is heartless. Yes in the back of the mind is the urge to stay. Love you here. /Darlene/

Leaving is a sad goodbye. Not every one leave is heartless. Back in one's mind triggered keep holding back at least there's a space of iota of doubt to stay. Love you here, Darlene./Hugo.
