yours lovingly…

Listening to your silent melancholy,

Seeing your heart grow heavy,

Came close to console your cry,

To shield the sorrow from your eye…

 

I wish to part now,

Not because I have no love,

But to make your burden low,

As it is the only way, I know…

 

Let your lids embrace,

Let me touch your cheeks,

To pat them its okay,

Keep your cheerful gay…

Give me a send off,

Gift me your grief…

Good bye, my dear,

Yours lovingly, your tear…
