Apreciating feedback!

I guess you finally found where you need to be
even if it's not with me
you found what you want,
you found what you need,
and now I guess you're leaving me,
I want to tell you I need you,
Tell you I love you,
Tell you I want you to stay,
but now I guess I'm way too late,
there's so much I meant to say,
but now know I'm way to late,
I understand you need to go,
so I'm masking all this pain,
inside I'm dying, inside I'm crying
But outside I smile, I wear my disguise,
I'll miss you is all I can say,
as I let you fade away,
I'll put on my mask and hide all my tears,
I'll join all those who share my pain,
who said nothing 'till it was too late,
I want to tell you I need you,
I'll always miss you,
I'll always love you,
and I'll never be the same,
But now I guess I'm way too late,
and just let you fade away.

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
