Love, when you have to leave me, <br />let it not be <br />with hatred, with calamity <br />and although we are both sad <br />with voids that none other can fill <br />let we remain great to each other. <br /> <br />Outside the world goes on, <br />people fall in love, children are born <br />and each and every morn the sun <br />hangs bright, full of heat <br />in the blue sky <br /> <br />and although regret and sadness <br />fills us both <br />let us be free from cruelty, <br />remain you and me <br />and part each other with dignity. <br /> <br /> <br />[Reference: Love, we mast part now by Philip Larkin.]<br /><br />Gert Strydom<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/love-we-must-part-now-3/
