We

I will miss you
You will miss me

You can not leave that way

Reading this, I had a song playing on my mind. It was done by a Nigerian/ German girl. Not sure if you know her - Ayo Ogunmakin. I think the lines were - Down on my knees, I'm begging you, Please don't leave me. Good writ. Thanks for stopping by

@don, not yet.

@tadra, he wanted to live, she took his life.

@be silent,she packed, he wept.

@eddiie,they have different hearts so it is difficult to measure the misses.
