GOODBYE MY LOVE

FROM THE FIRST TIME I MET YOU
MY HEART FELL PREY,
I KNEW FROM THAT MOMENT 
LOVE WAS HERE TO STAY.

I LOVED YOU UNCONDITIONALLY 
FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART, 
BELIEVING THAT NOTHING,
OR NO ONE, COULD TEAR US APART.

YOU STAYED WITH ME
FOR MANY YEARS,
BUT IT WAS JUST A PHYSICAL PRESENCE,
YOUR HEART OF LOVE HAD DISAPPEARED.

I AM NOT CERTAIN 
WHY YOU CHOOSE TO STAY,
SO TODAY, 
I AM RELEASING YOU MY LOVE,
TAKE FLIGHT, 
AND MAY GOD GUIDE YOU 
ALONG THE WAY.

WILFORD BARKER.
