Sometimes... <br />Parting ways is bitter <br />At times... <br />Parting ways is better <br />If you love me real <br />Set me free <br />Only in this <br />Life is conflict-free <br /> <br /> <br />If ever I say 'Goodbye' <br />That does not mean <br />I love you no more <br />But I want you to be <br />Much happier than before <br /> <br /> <br />And if ever I sob and cry <br />It's not because I lost you <br />Not only you that I will lose <br />But I lose life myself for you <br /> <br /> <br />God seemed to know <br />How much I loved you <br />Yet He would not <br />Let me have you <br />For having you means <br />I could lose you <br />And in not having you means <br />I could love you <br /> <br /> <br />Now we are happy <br />We made it light <br />By letting love go <br />It is just right <br />Though I wished <br />I could have been <br />But giving you back <br />You'll be at peace<br /><br />Cynthia Aluning<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/saying-goodbye-means-i-love-you/
