ESTRANGEMENT by CHARLES HANSON TOWNE

First Line: IT WAS SO HARD TO SAY GOOD-BYE
Last Line: SO CLOSE, YET FAR AWAY!
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!
