Goodbye

It's time for us to say goodbye
Time to move on with our lives
We met at a time we had a need
To share the turmoil and strife.

I never wanted to hurt you
I only wanted your love
You know I'd never forsake you
But I felt it was time to move

What I wanted could never happen
I need to be held and caressed
My feelings for you I had to abandon
Knowing by you I'd never be kissed.

We tried to maintain our friendship
But your heart could not withstand it
I wanted to spend my life with you
But I had no right to demand it.

So life goes on from day to day
Each of us searching for love
I'll pray you find what you need in life
I'll pray you find everlasting love.

We both are just human beings
We cannot survive without affection
I have been loveless for so many years
It's time I headed another direction.

I'm sorry if I hurt you.
I really didn't mean to.
But you are not free to love me,
Even though you used to want to.

Goodbye my love, my friend
I wish you love and peace
Your letters meant the world to me
Into my heart you reached.
