I’M GLAD YOU LEFT ME……….. WHILE I’M IN LOVE

(Such an elegant way to say goodbye)

I’m glad you left while I’m in love
if only you knew
how much I feel for you
it was the kindest thing to do.
It would never have done
for us to part in an angry way, and,
I never could be angry with you anyway,
because the good I felt for you all along
would take all that away.
You entered a place in my heart
where you can do nothing wrong,
you always will be my shining star
don’t ask me why,
I don’t know,
you just are.
I just thought you ought to know
that I love you way too much and
if your love had somewhere to go
somewhere else it needed to be,
it’s OK
But I needed to say, between you and me,
this feeling inside of me is hard to contain.
I try and the more I try to forget you,
I more I lose my mind and can’t maintain.
I worry about how you are, what you do
I wish I heard from you every day.
Not many words, just a few
Just one little — I love you.
You felt you had to go.
I wouldn’t stop you if I could.
But if you ever have a change of mind
If you’re mixed up and
just don’t know what to do,
I will always be here for you.
The same guy you always knew
with tender loving feelings
for you know who.
We’ll celebrate your victories,
we’ll mourn your losses
and you’ll be close to me again,
and we can cry and hug it out,
my wonderful interstellar twin
signed, I love you forever and ever,
your BFF and over emotional friend.
