Without Hello

Without hello there could be no goodbyes,
without truth there is only lies.
When I heard love knock I opened the door,
only found heartache like before.

Without tears there would be no me to cry,
or weeping each night asking why.
Some say they love you but do not at all,
promise the stars, watch them fall.

Without a smile there would not be a frown,
when love is a lie, lets you down.
Gray clouds would never fade sunny skies,
turn your laughter into sad sighs.

Without the pain eyes would never turn red,
from sleepless nights crying in bed.
There would not be visions of dark despair,
dragons to slay in my nightmare.

Yes, without love coming into my life,
I would not feel pain and strife,
Without hello there could be no goodbye,
or weeping each night asking why.
