Don't tell me farewell!

Don’t tell me farewell!

How much more I would love to tell.

I remember how we have met.

Those days I will never forget.

Don’t tell me farewell!

Without you I can’t find a place to dwell.

I remember how we have met by chance.

You looked at me with such a charming glance.

Don’t tell me farewell!

I don’t believe you are the one to swell.

Some things I understand,

We’ve built a castle on the sand.

Don’t tell me farewell.

I don’t believe that you are heartless,

I don’t believe that you are soulless,

Without you I am just helpless.

My destiny is hanging by a thread,

My heart will long for you and bleed.

I’ve spent the whole day in sorrow,

Don’t know what to do tomorrow.

I don’t want to play with  words,

But I would like to offer prayers to all Gods

So that to hear nothing more

But only one word “Hello!”
