So Long My Friend

So long my friend, I still love you,

Though I can't tell you that,

For it will only hurt you more.

If you had stayed with me, I wish.

The last I saw of your visage

In my tears were a fading image

But I want to see you again, just once,

For I cannot recall what you looked like.

Oh, how my heart wished to see you

Before you left, to stop you from leaving

But I was too weak to do that, my fault.

Oh, how much I want to see you again.

I won't tell you how I love you, ever again

For it will only hurt you more.

I will wait for you to come back, I'll be here,

But I won't tell you that I love you.
