“The Ouija Board” (1920)
by Norman Rockwell
Love something then set it free?
That doesn’t sound too smart to me
If I love you then what I do
Is kick you out, find someone new?
But what if I like you a lot?
I’m feeling glad for what I’ve got
But folks are saying let you go
This chance for love I’ve got to blow?
I think I will ignore advice
Instead I’ll wrap my arms round twice
And hold you tight and cherish so
Refuse to ever let you go!
But should our love grow dim and spare
I think it best to show more care
Unwrap those arms and talk it out
For love can’t grow if it’s in doubt
And if the answer is there’s none
It isn’t good for anyone
To force a feeling, live on guilt
That isn’t how strong bonds are built
I guess that letting go’s not bad
To say goodbye need not be sad
It takes some time, and faith, to see
If love is truly meant to be…
