When Its Time To Let Go

Seek not please that fool to stay To grieve your soul thats light and gay So short is life and breath and day So swift a life can fleet away. So waste not time in love's pursuit When ceased is love and joy is mute. Silly a fool don't worth your charms To bask within your loving arms. Though hard you try to hide this day The raging love that has slipped away. For day to day you've prayed to die When your heart and your eyes unite to cry. You've searched the stars for love so true But all along, its right in front of you.,
