No Sad Goodbye Poem by dino evans

Don't wait for me my love, I might be gone a while…
You see, what causes me to go, I can't control…
I hope that I've been here just long enough to make you smile…
Take your pain away, try to console...

Don't look for me upon horizons lost, out in the mist…
Or sunsets, to relieve, your tired eyes…
Forget the pain, and how it was, remember our last kiss…
Don't clutter up your mind, with how, and why…

I have not the time left, nor ability to pause…
My time is short my love, so please believe…
I didn't mean to place this pain inside your heart, or cause…
Your tears to fall for me, when I must leave…

Remember fondly, if you will, the things that we once knew…
And don't allow the times we had, to fade…
Think, and keep in your mind, the way that I loved you…
Late in nights, remember love we'd made…

Do not allow this letter, to be a sad goodbye…
But bring back memories, to warm the cold…
Slow the winds of loss, that may blow across your sky…
And ease what had shared and keep the gold…

Cry not, don't fear love, that I'll forget your face…
The look you gave to me, that saved my days…
The days would all be lost to me, my world thrown out of place…
If not for you, your gentle, calming ways…

I know you've heard this all before, It's nothing new I say…
The reason I have said these things, to you…
I pray won't cause your heart to break, and fall away…
You know I do not mean the things, I do…

I leave because I have to go, no choice that is my own…
And if I could, you know that I would stay…
To never let you go through, this torment, all alone…
If I could only talk to you, what would I say…

If I could say I'm sorry, that I must leave you here this way…
I go, with heavy heart, and troubled mind…
And though I leave you, so unkind, with no delay…
With no answers, to the questions, that you find…

Questions, of the kind that leave you unaware…
Of why I've caused this sorrow, in your heart…
Please don't look for why I'm gone, the answer isn't there…
And all you'll find, is that the tears will start…

Life is short my love, but I'll see you once again…
They tell me, it's the blinking of an eye…
We'll walk along the path together, you and I, and then…
We'll find that there's no reason, left to cry…
