Saying Goodbye To You

Saying goodbye to you 

If you were to tell me that you had to go 
There isn’t a thing I would want you to know 
For what we must learn from each other today 
Is true only if you share each next, new day.  

I’d think that you’d wonder and want to ask why 
But I’d stare into space or up at the blue sky 
For you do not want me and now I can tell 
That you’d rather leave, and you just might as well. 

I know I’d be lonely and miss you at first 
But friends and my family would quench that dry thirst 
Once time has gone by and you haven’t come back 
My life will be moving along a new track.
