First Line: It was so hard to say good-bye

Subject(s): Love - Loss Of
IT was so hard to say good-bye,
To drift apart from you;
But harder still to live the lie
That swept the long years through.
O better far it were that we
Down different paths should stray;
Better that we should part than be
So close, yet far away!
