And my writing is really nothing more than my spoken story telling
Written outloud. Is it not?
Deep inside of me is the full knowledge of your pain.
The pain of me leaving you. I know you hurt. I can feel it.
So many things I have not said, not expressed, not refused
In order not to hurt you. And now I have said the most hurtful thing: Which is good-by
And now I feel the pain of losing the woman in my life.
Of having left her Of having told you to go Of having gone
There were so many beautiful things
That were us That was you
There are so many enriching things
That you taught me And I take with myself, like a thief.
Given a day or two,
Or a thousand The memory of the joy may outlive the pain Of being with you, of leaving you, of having gone.
How I wish you less pain.
I hope you are with your friends, family, loved ones Who I dare not contact just to know that you are well. And now I wish you happiness. Back at the work that drives your soul In the arms of a new lover to share your deep passion
