You say I love you right before you leave
You act so kind then leave me to grieve
You let me stand there in disbelief
Thinking that it will give me some kind of relief
That you end our conversation, letter, relationship with
"I love you"

Why don''t you give me some time to enjoy
The love that can be received
To be happy that I am loved by you and you loved by me
But you wait to see
If we can be
In a circle of love
With all love to show
Making sure and always letting me know
That in the beginning and in the end
Your love will always transcend

But maybe you think that if you say it now
It will Make up for later
Or maybe it gives you of how
To see me later

"I love you"

But what ever the reason
The size of the grieving
The words unbelieving
The eyes to be tearing
Will always be less
More time to caress
my soul
If only you let me know
How great of your love
Before you go.
