Baby Please Don't Cry
Goodnight, Gorgeous. you said.
Goodbye, my lovely. i said.
You did not notice. You simply smiled and tried to kiss me.
I stepped back. You frowned. I turned and ran inside.You got in your car and left.
You did not know that i ran with tears in my eyes.
You did not know that the only reason i pulled back was because the hardest
part of this is leaving you.
You did not know that the next time you'd see me was the same day you saw
me being buried.
But i hope you knew how much i loved you.
Because i did.
You made everything else better.
But i still couldn't take it.
You said goodnight.
I said goodbye.
You didn't notice.
I'm sorry, Baby please dont cry.
You're lovelier with a smile.
