I’m going now, <br />Just moving on, <br />Perhaps you’ll miss me, <br />When I’m gone, <br />What do you think, <br />Or even reckon, <br />Will I be back, <br />When new love beckons, <br />I’ll leave you here, <br />To start again, <br />And pray you will, <br />Remain a friend, <br />I have no blame, <br />To cast at you, <br />The love just died, <br />There’s nothing new, <br />We must be free, <br />To love again, <br />And say goodbye, <br />To lonely nights, <br />And love that died, <br />By candlelight, <br />We have to face, <br />The simply fact, <br />That what we lost, <br />We won’t get back, <br />We do more damage, <br />Trying to mend, <br />I need a lover, <br />Not a friend, <br />For friends are plenty, <br />Lovers few, <br />I thought I found, <br />That love with you, <br />A love to last, <br />And growing old, <br />Just wasn’t there, <br />If truth be told, <br />We played a part, <br />We ran for years, <br />No solace now, <br />In bitter tears, <br />I say goodbye, <br />And wish you well, <br />You say I’m wrong, <br />But time will tell, <br />I’m heading back, <br />Where I began, <br />I’m going now, <br />While I still can.<br /><br />Linda Harnett<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-m-going-now/
