all my life I've searched <br />for where the ripples on the river go <br />when they disappear beneath the bridge <br /> <br />this dawn I wondered <br />where beautiful music goes <br />when it's too far away to hear <br /> <br />it is noon-time and I tried to find <br />where all the love goes <br />when it leaks out of a broken heart <br />and there is not a soul to lend us an ear <br /> <br />last night I looked through the window <br />to see where the sun's rays go <br />when clouds take over and the rain come <br />but it has been some time now and there <br />is not a star to hope for <br /> <br />so, today I searched <br />for a true friend <br />when everyone turned backs on me <br />but one thing rings a bell <br />in the forest beyond <br />is it danger or treasure <br /> <br />first, I thought I found a friend in you <br />with all the jewels I asked for <br />but for now, I wish I had known <br />I would someday have to let you go <br />without a kiss of goodbye<br /><br />Padmore Enyonam Agbemabiese<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/goodbye-love/
