It Was Ok To Cry – David Grigorian

A shy hello.
All was brand new,
I liked your smile,
The sound of your voice.

Followed by a gentle goodbye,
Just I grew fonder of you,
I had to slip away from your life,
Just one more look at your face.

It was ok to cry,
This is not an abandonment,
I was grateful to have known you.
A gentle goodbye,
Goodbye.

Footprints vanished,
Behind the horizon.
