I Don’t Want To Say Goodbye Poem by Lana May Hamlin

I close my eyes and I see your face
Our perfect memories replay in my mind
I miss the feeling of your strong embrace
Your deep kisses I can no longer find
I need to move on the way you did
But something deep inside me has another plan
Maybe you’re the only one for me

I don’t want to say goodbye
I just want you by my side
Tonight, tomorrow, for always

I lay in bed longing to have your arms wrapped around me
I want to hear your sweet voice whispered in my ear
I need to feel the love flowing from your heart to mine
Baby, I just need you here

I don’t want to say goodbye
I just want you by my side
Tonight, tomorrow, for always

I don’t want to fight with you
I’m willing to admit I’m wrong
I just want to kiss away your tears
Because I know I’m the reason you’re gone

I don’t want to say goodbye
I just want you by my side
Tonight, tomorrow, for always

What is goodbye and where is the good in it?
The more we say it the less we can deal
I know this is our time away from each other
Our time to find out what we have is real
But I want this year to pass by quickly
Your body against mine is what I need to feel

I don’t want to say goodbye
I just want you by my side
Tonight, tomorrow, for always

Our future filled with maybes and endless possibilities
When the world is ready for us, we’ll find a way back
And we'll move on strong
Right now all I know is - baby I love you
You’re my inspiration, my heaven, my song
I want to hold you in my arms forever
And cuddle with you all night long

I don’t want to say goodbye
I just want you by my side
Tonight, tomorrow, for always
