I won’t shed my tears outside my heart

Nor let the world see me fall apart

I won’t beg and plead for you to stay

Nor will hurting words to you I’ll say

I won’t give up believing in the world I love

Nor curse the darkened skies I see above

I won’t be a victim of my lonely pain

Nor hang my head in lost friendship’s shame

I won’t pretend that you’re no longer here

Nor chase the wind with you somewhere

I won’t ever be sorry that we once met

Nor the words we shared I won’t forget

I’ll hold our memories safe and secure

In my box of things I keep forever more.
