Dearest . . .

Day by day my Love for you grows stronger,
Night by night, my Heart grows fonder.
In these precious months I've shared with you,
You've given me more love than I ever knew.
But it's realizing I have to let you go,
That's so hard and it hurts me so.
No one else could make me feel this way,
And I really do want you to stay.
But when you leave, I'll think of you,
And the wonderful things we used to do.
Honey, I hope you feel the same,
Please remember the love that to us, came.
A few short months that's all we've got,
To share our love that's taught so much.
Can't you imagine how it's going to be?
We'll no longer have our love that's so sweet!
I'll go through the days so long and dreary,
And as the days go by, I'll grow weary.
Your loving face I'll no longer see,
And your strong arms will no longer hold me.
All these facts, are coming through,
Sweetheart, I can't stand it, I love you!
I'm so sorry if I'm causing you pain,
But don't you see - I can't change.
When the end comes and new paths we start,
I'll close all these things into my heart.
I'll keep them there as long as I live,
And go back to them time and again.
No matter what happens, I want you to know,
That' I'll never forget you wherever I go.

All My Love,
Crystal
