Let Me Say It Now
Anna-Varney Cantodea
Let me say it now
For I may be not be around
For much longer now
I am glad that you are in my life
If only now and then
And only for a while
The stars are closer now
But they don’t shine
I’ve healed a little though
Sometimes I even smile
I was saddened once by a single thought
That we would never share the things I thought I’d want
But I was foolish then, because in truth it’s fine
That I was never in you thoughts
The way you were in mine
My heart is cold again
It’s safe this way for me
Too cruel’s the fire of a love not meant to be
Come what may now, ‘tis simple truth
I will always be a friend to you
