Darling Please Agree Poem by BRUCE MARTONE

now what if i told you darling
that we couldn't get much higher
that we reach as far as we could go
at least deep down we both can agree
because it wasn't like we didn't know
[ but darling i still love you, darling i still love you ]
now i'm not asking you to understand
i'm just telling you the way it is
so take my hand, share a final kiss
but before we do just let me say this
[ darling i still love you, darling i love you ]
now you were my sunshine that ending my rain
that i thought would always remain
but that was then this is now
and somehow your still surprise
and i don't know how you can be
because we both saw this coming
between you and me
[ but darling i still love you, darling i love you ]
now the fighting and the yelling
the telling each other off
was never for me or for you
at least we both know that was true
so dry your eyes and i say goodbye
[ but darling i still love you, i still love you ]
now if i stay the fighting the yelling
the telling would never end
so maybe the best thing to do is to fade away
so darling i'm leaving today
and please agree that i'm right
and please agree to say goodnight
[ but darling i still love you, darling i love you ]
