We knew this was our fate
To have to walk away
As the speedometer ticks
Our hearts ache
You start up conversation
Try to distract me
It's very cute, trust me
But I know what's happening
As one minute becomes thirty
I begin to feel weak
I can't resist any longer
As tears descend my cheek
Normally I would obey security
But I need to say goodbye
So I step out of my car
To hold you as we cry
I snap one last picture
As you smile the pain away
Planting kisses around your face
I cherish the last giggle
You tell me that you love me
My throat closes up
For I know these words will be it
I love you too, so much
As I get back in the car
I try to hold it together
But once you walk away
I crack under pressure
I pull into a lot
Because I can't drive home
"Home" I guess
Since you're not there
I sit there and change the music
As people watch me and wonder
I cry and I cry
I miss you
The pain in my heart
Carries through my mind
Leaving my body numb
I let go of time
An hour passes
You board your flight
As I sit in my car
Hoping it's a lie
I finally drive home
The road blurs instantly
I look to my passenger seat
Where you're supposed to be
As I pull into my driveway
I feel hollow inside
I practice my fake smile
My family thinks I'm fine
I manage conversation
Slink up to my room
Rookie mistake
It just reminds me of you
I lay in the bed
Motionless
I lost my other half
Please, come back
As much as I cry
As hard as it is
I know you're still mine
This isn't the end
I just have to wait
For what seems like forever
Until I see that golden smile
You are worth every second
Whether it's pain or joy
Together or apart
I know you're here
I feel it in my heart
The fact that I have you
That I know it's our forever
Makes me happy
Happier than ever
So, as you said
It's not goodbye
It's see you later
Until that time
I'll be here
Waiting and waiting
Through our window
I'll be staring
