"Goodbye."

I won't say "I love you";
Even if my heart means it.

I won't say "I promise",
Because I mightn't have the time to do it.

When I say "please forget me",
I mean "remember, but please move on".

Don't ask me if I love you;
I don't want to lie before I'm gone.

And don't say "I'll never love another";
Whether I'm around or not.

Because you'll need another shoulder;
When I leave you; to cry on.

Because the truth is, I'm dying soon,
But I don't want you to be sad.

I won't tell you how much I love you,
So when I leave it won't hurt as bad.

And from above, I promise,
I'll pray for you and that lucky guy.

Make sure to take care of the little one well,
And with that, dear one; "goodbye."
