THE LAST GOODBYE
A Poem by John Cody �

THE MAN
He rushed down to the station before her buss pulled in.
The minutes seemed like hours till he would hold you again.
Then all at once I saw you and I was so proud.
You were all that I ever wanted that heaven allows.
I won�t talk about tomorrow or the plans that we made.
There�s no use in reminiscing if you don�t intend to stay.
So just tell me if you love him and I�ll manage somehow.
I�ll just wish you all the happiness that heaven allows.
THE WOMAN
We�ve tried it for so long now but each day is filled with doubt.
The hurt that�s within you is begging to come out.
The more you pull together the more I tear apart.
I think it�s best as friends we part, before we break each other�s heart.
I�m not sorry that we tried it but it seems it was in vain.
So I�ll give you back your freedom. You give me back my name
