Leave if you must <br />I want you to be happy, <br />and if this is what it takes . . . <br />I'll cry in silence <br />live in fear <br />and remember with a smile <br />Do you still want to leave? I can't understand why but <br />Before you go let's make one last memory— <br />one last kiss . . . <br />My aching gone in your arms <br />you safe from harm in mine <br />Lost in each other's embrace <br />Do you still want to leave? I won't make you stay <br />Just look once more into my eyes to be sure . . . <br />Do you see the passion? <br />Do you see the hurt? <br />Do you see the love? <br />Do you still want to leave?<br /><br />Julianne Irvine<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/leave-if-you-must/
