I Try

I had sad news to tell you, of a road less traveled by.
My words you took with eyes so strong, you tried hard not to cry.

I looked at you and though of times when I had held you near.

I had quite hoped for mine own strength, you would not shed a tear.

My words come out and stumble and to my face I fall.
I had sad news to tell, if really ever be called news at all.

Yes, true love was spoken, with a great deep sigh and a silent chill.
Yes, true love was spoken, and it brought me softer still.

In trembling fear I guide my only lifeline.
But my love was true if for a reason, season, or a lifetime.

Yes, I did say love and never did I lie.
But our season come and our seasons gone, but now I say goodbye.

We danced our dance, we sang out song like a mocking bird.
We are in this together and I meant it, every word.

The secrets out and it never was a lie.
But now I go and I try hard not to cry.
