Do We Stay Or Go? Poem by Ray Hansell

Without hesitation
I gave you my heart
But now this separation
Just tears me apart

I need to be close to you
I need you by my side
I need you there in all I do
My love for you I cannot hide

Tell me what to do
Where do we go from here?
You know I love you so
Do you love or want me near?

Or has the time finally come
To go our separate ways
The days of fun and laughter
Have they vanished in the haze?

My heads knows that I'm right
But the truth is in my heart
Should we just say goodnight
Or try to make a brand new start?

Our love was once alive and well
Living in our hearts and souls
Or do we just say goodbye
And forever have doubts as we grow old

Should we stay and try
To save the love within
Or walk away with some doubt
Always wondering, what might have been

So now we must decide
For our lives are getting late
No more trying to hide
We must decide our fate

Should we try to save
What we have right now?
Maybe the past
Can help us love again somehow
