A parting of the ways,
seem to be on your mind,
You decided to move on,
leave me here behind.
Who was always there,
when you were uninspired?
Picked you up whenever,
you were lost or tired?
Just a need to understand,
I will not beg you to stay.
Truth lies beyond my grasp,
why you want to go away.
Bond we shared between,
was built on trust and care.
I need to know the reason,
to not know is not fair.
Ask you with heart in hand,
tell me the reason why.
You chose just to walk away,
and not explain your goodbye.

You do make me smile with your warm wit.
I will be waiting patiently for that warm yellow sun. I know it comes with a smile when it is sent by you. . Thank you dear friend. Hugs and smiles to you. Stay warm and keep all those fingers and toes.

This is so very sad
Yet, it is wonderfully written
You have painted an image much stronger than the song
It's sad that so many relationships end this way
Even though it breaks my heart, my relationship is being seperated by unjust immigration laws. This does not mean that it is easy. It hurts both of us very deeply. We cry a lot
However, there is no anger between each other...only love.
Great take on the prompt
Much love and many blessings
David

Lots of my relationships seemed to end this way. They never gave me a good reason, sometimes none at all for why what seemed like a good relationship ended. It is hard to accept and never easy to understand.

Good Morning
Nice to get on and see a nice comment from you. Hope you have a wonderful day. You take care, Sandy

There can be many reasons for "running away" without a good bye and I think maybe the biggest reasons would be because they feel smothered of powerless. Also there are occassions when saying good bye is an endless line of good byes that accomplish nothing as the other person cannot see their own mistakes.

I believe you have found
the truth to many others path. A path with a puddle of tears left by those who loved.

What a wonderful work. This is a lovely look towards figuring life and understand what reason has love faded and moved from each others grasp. Where goodbye is unexplained the pain to gather ones mind and move on
