Lyric about Leaving
(on, frankly, overhearing the first line
in conversation)
Don’t ever go away
But we go away, when we must
I don’t like it, either
If I move, it doesn’t mean
I feel your leaving less, your
Presence in my life leaving
Now
The only joy in leaving is
Return
I go to strangers, so why would
I want to stay
I’ll come back, and maybe
You’ll return to me, too
I know it can happen if in
Uncertain ways
I hope my will and yours are
Of one mind in which calm
Love takes over when together
From the day
From the day

Hope is the strongest feeling
And
So is love!

They are strong feelings, aren’t they? They prompt all kinds of actions.
As always, it’s grand to hear from you!

“The only joy in leaving is return”. Truth, Christopher. This is one of my most favorite pieces of yours.

Goodness, Annie, thank you! I enjoyed the simple way it came about. So if it’s a favorite, even better!

You capture emotion very well in this piece. The sadness of saying goodbye, yet a joy when you see the person again. But there is the time you both go about your lives missing each other. But I think knowing you will meet again is a powerful image.

Thanks, Mandi! Yes, many partings are for keeps. Sometimes, though, it’s good when there’s coming together again.
