Leaving isn't goodbye


Remember when you didn't want to let go

The moments that you wanted to last forever
The space you never wanted to create
The distance that seemed even farther 
When the time is coming to a close
You feel that tears are a waist of time
One single look into yours eyes and I know 
What I know I can't say
But how I feel is everything I need to know 
Deep blue watery eyes and the warmth of fire snuggling
The sunshine you bring
The sunshine you'll leave
Forgetting isn't an option
It's not even an idea
I won't say forever just yet
28 hours, 11 hours or even 5 minuets is still too far
But that doesn't mean it's over
We've crossed oceans to come together 
We can climb mountains to stay
Counting down till my departure
Going back to a life I once knew
But the terrible part is leaving you
One month or two
I can't say when I'll see you again
Just hold you in my heart
And hope that our time will soon come again
