so long, so long

it’s completion of a different kind when we talk

it’s nothing i’ve ever felt or known

but it’s better than

saying goodbye

because i miss you already, and i haven’t left yet-

your face will be gone from my days, the way i wished it long ago;

 

but i could never wish that now,

never wish you away,

could never wish to leave you here

and wave until my sunrise meets me

and you are gone,

gone,

so long….

 

and i would do anything for you

grow flowers in november

float on air

 

but i can’t stay,

i can’t do anything about leaving this time.

the same way i can’t do anything about loving you now,

loving the soft way you hold me

loving the glow in your eyes whenever they meet mine

loving every part of you

and i don’t want to leave,

they’re tearing me away,  i swear…

 

i wouldn’t have the will power to go if they weren’t….
