Paikin's Song

So Be It So

So be it so
Send me on my way
With a hard good-bye
I can't really expect
No nothing else
When I've twisted your heart
So badly thus

You're quite quite right
Though I did soften
To think I'd smile
And give you a hug and kiss
When you're leaving me with
No good reason
Is utter foolishness

Oh but I am
As I have to go now
For the challenges ahead of me
Are such hard ones
That I must face them alone

Fine whatever
Speak like the mysterious hero
I guess you wish you were
Though you haven't read those books
In many a year
Just don't delay
Your leaving now
For that will only make it worse

Yes my hurrying suits us both
And having hurt you this bad
I've no wish to worsen it
With a parting long

Charles Petrie
