I should open with a kiss    For if you're reading this    You must have opened up your case    And found this letter where I placed it    In between the silk and lace    There were other clues, like your walking shoes    But I still refused to believe    That you were meant to be the first to leave    Everybody here sends you their love    How can I forget you still walk above    Or    below    Perhaps you'll never know this purgatory    We never could agree    There's a thought, there's a pause    No time to repent    Eternally yours    In a permanent lent       But if I should give you up    If you're right and life just stops    And I never see your face again    Then from unearthly pleasures, proud and plain    I shall abstain       Until you realise, my loss is your surprise    Unless you know otherwise    Then don't grieve    You see I had to be the first to leave
