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 could 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
Till you realize my loss is your surprise
Unless you know otherwise
Then don´t grieve
You see I had to be the first to leave
