I truly am sorry that I must go,
I do not mean to leave you here alone.
But I need you to know that I will return,
in time my love I will return back to you.
When everyone forgets my face,
and no one can place my name,
then my love,
I will return to you.
When the flowers we planted together have long died,
and then comeback,
then my love,
I will come back to you.
When the children who once played never ending games of hide n go seek,
have all grown too old for games,
then my love,
I will return to you.
When the old have all died off,
and the youth have replaced them,
then my love,
I will come back to you.
My love,
I am sorry I must leave you here by yourself,
but when my face is too old to recognize,
and my name knows no mouth,
only then will I return to you,
only then can I come back to you.
