COMMON SENSE
A woman was asked to explain
Why she always undressed in the rain.
She said 'Clothes can get
Very soggy and wet;
Now they're dry when I wear them again.'

TIME TO SAY GOODBYE
All the while I see you,
Though you don't turn around,
'Goodbye' seems so impossible;
I'm on familiar ground.
I've seen you walk that path before,
I've seen your comforting shape;
But then you were leaving for a time,
Not making your escape.
*
All the while I see you,
Today's like yesterday;
You're sure to turn and smile at me;
And I know the words you'll say......
'I was only teasing, darling!
Of course it's not the end!
You mean so very much to me,
You're my lover and my friend.'
*
All the while I see you
It's as though we're playing parts,
Pretending to be ex-lovers
Who're nursing broken hearts.
But soon you'll turn the corner;
Leaving not the slightest trace.
I'll no longer see you;
You will be an empty space.

That second piece is beautifully done!
Beautiful words indeed! I am a new follower from Rome.
