Hey, That's No Way to Say Goodbye

I loved you in the morning, our kisses deep and warm, What we had was real, I acknowledge that it was true and mutual your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy golden storm, But even then your hair, like a storm foreshadowed that we could never be a permanent couple yes, many loved before us, I know that we are not new, Why do I feel like we are the only people that are hurting because we cant be together? in city and in forest they smiled like me and you, I know that countless others have felt this way, have shared love like we have, but ours cannot last as theirs might have but now it's come to distances and both of us must try, We have no choice but to separate, it could never happen and we knew it. We cannot understand, but we must accept it. your eyes are soft with sorrow, You are holding back tears, so am I, neither of us want this separation Hey, that's no way to say goodbye. Gently, I know we feel this way, but lets try to see past this I'm not looking for another as I wander in my time, This was not an affair, it was a relationship. I am not looking for another, I don’t know if what we had could be replicated walk me to the corner, our steps will always rhyme We will always understand each other, we shared a special connection you know my love goes with you as your love stays with me, I will never stop loving you, and I know you will never stop loving me it's just the way it changes, like the shoreline and the sea, But sometimes life is like this, and things change. We cannot do anything about it. but let's not talk of love or chains and things we can't untie, Lets not focus on what we cannot change. We cannot untie our love, it will always exist, but lets not focus on how we must leave each other now.

One of my favorite all time songs. Cohen captures perfectly how it feels when a relationship ends imperfectly that feels like it was meant to be.
