AND PLEASE DON’T BE SAD

 

I didn’t want to leave you

It was the hardest thing I ever did

But I had to go

I couldn’t fight it any longer

But now I’ve gone

Please don’t be sad,

But remember what we had

Think of our life together

Like a favourite book

Which you read with relish

And couldn’t put down

Enjoying every well-thumbed page

Well now that I’ve gone

Do not close the book

And put it on the shelf

Never to be read again

Just because you hate the ending

Start to write the next chapter

Enjoy it like all the others

Embrace the life you have

Live for both of us

And please don’t be sad
