It's Hard to Say Goodbye

It's hard to say 'I love you'
When it's time to say goodbye
For the love we felt was very strong
Flowing through both you and I

But if you keep a wild bird
locked up in a cage
It will in time just flap its wings
filling you both with rage

It's time to let the past move on
but keep the moments that we treasured
Of all those times we enjoyed ourselves
That brought us so much pleasure

For all the memories that we made
will remain contained inside
And they'll be there for years
To allow us to look back with pride

So move on now, don't look back
And mark those times we had
No regrets! Just loving thoughts
And PLEASE don't think so sad

There will always remain inside my heart
A special place for YOU
And I would hope the same for me
A place in your heart too
