Yesterday when we were together
We were so close yet so distant
I could see it in your eyes
That you were hiding something
I finally asked you what was on your mind
At first you denied it
But I was persistant
You said you were leaving tommorow for a year
You had to follow your dream
But you wanted our relationship to remain the same
I had no words
You left me speechlees
For this sudden departure caught me unaware
But what could I say
I would not hold you back
For the sake of my selfishness
That would be cruel
I remember the way you smiled when I said nothing would change
And that I would be here waiting for your return
What I said was not a lie
But this pain of separation
Was what I wanted to express
But how could I burden you with that
So with a smile I hugged you
And told you I would miss you
I promised tomorrow I would send you off
And that I would be your support along the way.
Its 12 at night and Im wondering if your still awake
I have a glass of wine by my side
But nothing seems to calm me
I know I will have to be strong
For both our sakes I must pull through
But I will not promise that I wont cry
But I will let you go
I wont hold you back
I stay here waiting for you.
