That Seven Letter Word Poem by Ray Hansell

You tell me that you love me
You tell me that you care
But when we are together
You never let me near

I know it might be crazy
To feel the way we feel
But deep inside I know
Our feelings are so real

What should we do?
Should we stay apart?
When deep inside we know
It would break both of our hearts

The love we feel
We can't even share
Because no one can know
That we even care

So it looks like our lives
Will be lived apart
But your kiss will forever
Be stamped upon my heart

Don't think it is easy
For me to say all of this
Living life with you
Is all I've ever wished

I wish we didn't have to say
That seven letter word
Because, 'goodbye' makes the heart sad
Whenever it is heard
