Loneliness Will Grow
Loneliness Will Grow
Edward Clay
Created 1993
If one never says, “hello,”
One may need not say, ”goodbye,”
But the loneliness can grow
as the years go bye and bye.
Being quiet can prevent
one from having spoke ”adieu,”
Though the time one spends alone
is much worse a way for you.
Take your heart out for a walk,
Let the sunshine shine on you,
Let the wind blow on your face,
Walk through grass with morning dew.
It may seem you do not die
if you keep your heart from hurt,
In that way you might as well
be entombed below the earth.
So I say once more to you,
I speak it fervently and clear,
Say “hello” to someone close,
May turn into someone dear.
If one never says “hello,”
One need not say “goodbye,”
Could miss love that might be
till the heart can sometimes die.
