A Valediction ..

If we must part,
Then let it be like this,
Not heart on heart,
Nor with the useless anguish of a kiss,
But touch mine hand and say,
'Until tomorrow or some other day,
If we must part.'

Words are so weak
When love hath been so strong..
Let silence speak..
'Life is a little while, and love is long,
A time to sow and reap,
After harvest a long time to sleep,
But words are weak."
