   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 can 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
  
  Until you realise, my loss is your surprise
  Unless you know otherwise
  Then don't grieve
  You see I had to be the first to leave
