In a few short days, I’ll be leaving you, Without a trace, And it will be for the better. When you are reading this, In a few short days, I will have left you And it has been for the better. When you stay up through the night Clutching this letter, remember That a few short days ago I left, for the better. When you throw this away, The pain now so faint That you no longer feel it’s sting, You will know that those few short days,  They were for the better. They will be for the better. They have been for the better. They always will be for the better.

A Few Short Days (For The Better)
In a few short days, I’ll be leaving you, Without a trace, And it will be for the better. When you are reading this, In a few short days, I will have left you And it has been for the better. When you stay up through the night Clutching this letter, remember That a few short days ago I left, for the better. When you throw this away, The pain now so faint That you no longer feel it’s sting, You will know that those few short days,  They were for the better. They will be for the better. They have been for the better. They always will be for the better.
