Goodbye My Dear Friend

               I say the truth,
               Why do you doubt me?
               Do you think I'd ignore
               Your sincere plea?
                   I know what you want
                   And it makes me sigh..
                   But how can you think
                   To you I could lie?
               It's love that you want,
               But I do not feel
               That my feelings for you
               Are love in the real.
                   I know it hurts you,
                   These things I must say,
                   For both of our sakes
                   I'm leaving today.
