#       ***'You said,        "Someday I'm gonna break your heart",       the first time that we met--      Were you warning me..      ..or just seeing how close I'd get?'*** *If you didn't want to exist  in the heart of a man like me, then you shouldn't have allowed your scrapper little spirit       to write the way you do. And I was so naughty--  so very intentioned   in all of my obscenely-truthful lies.. I told you it was all your  fault         that you got in so quickly*          --and   it  was. *I got you back, though I knew it the moment you let on that you had fallen  deeply  in love..   not with me.. but with the love that had so deeply  fallen for every-thing about you And so,  it increased..  but at such a strange distance. But even then,  the years only perfected      and strengthened..    until lately..                         until lately..*      ***'We lay down in a lover's sigh      As a million years of time rolled by      How can I be hoping that it's not over yet?'***      I wasn't done, young Andi..      no..   no..   far from it You see.. there's this shame-thing I wanted to flood  with light. I'm getting so close  to finding the words      that have never been heard        in this world before     (And now.. and now.. and now..)      ***'I can't hold on to the night      Things change, ain't nothin' ever stays the same      You're gone as far as I can see      If you feel like letting go      Honey, I don't wanna be the last to know     ( I wanna hold on tight to the sweet memory         of you loving  me)'*** #

Let the good times find their own way home I'd kiss you goodbye but you're already gone Cryin' now.. just tryin' now to wash me away When you look back on the times we've had Let the good ones wash away the bad Don't look back on these bitter words we spoke today I can't hold on to the night Things change, ain't nothin' ever stays the same You're gone as far as I can see If you feel like letting go Honey, I don't wanna be the last to know I wanna hold on tight to the sweet memory of you loving me https://youtu.be/YyBLo20LY3c ~H don't go don't go don't go .
