Must You Go

Must you go now
And cross the bridge
When the river is flooded
With your own tears?


Must you leave now
And walk away
Shamefully with tears
Rolling down your face?


Must you think now
Of walking away
When handkerchief I hold
To wipe your tears?


Must I go now
And say I pleaded and cajoled
But you would not listen
To my humble plea?


Must you go now
And shut close the door
When with new quill pen I write
Poem for you to read?


You may go
If you decide to
But must it just be now
Before you read my letter?


Will you still go
Darling will you
Now that you know
I only need your love?

I like this one for the refrain (But does it really change on the 4th one?? I was wondering...) Anyway, it holds a plea...touching.
