rlm@0 5 I'm leaving now.
rlm@0 6 My bags are packed, my ticket held firmly in hand.
rlm@0 7 My hair flutters about my shoulders as the wind kisses me goodbye,
rlm@0 8 Her gentle touch a momentary distraction.
rlm@0 9 Where are you?
rlm@0 10 I thought you would come to see me off.
rlm@0 11 But I hate long goodbyes.
rlm@0 12 I hate the tears and the pain.
rlm@0 13 I hate missing you so much.
rlm@0 14 But I won't miss you long.
rlm@0 15
rlm@0 16 My bags are packed, I'm ready to go.
rlm@0 17 The time is almost ready.
rlm@0 18 I'm leaving early, you see.
rlm@0 19 They wanted me to stay much longer,
rlm@0 20 But I really must be going.
rlm@0 21 This place, it holds too much sadness for me.
rlm@0 22 The tears drown me in their numbers.
rlm@0 23 So I'll be off now, as soon as my ride arrives.
rlm@0 24 The flight attendant is a beautiful woman
rlm@0 25 With short black hair and a midnight cloak and a scythe that reflects the moonlight.
rlm@0 26 Her face is white, pale as newly fallen snow.
rlm@0 27 She beckons me.
rlm@0 28 My flight has arrived.
rlm@0 29 But still I balk, looking for you.
rlm@0 30 I still want to say goodbye.
rlm@0 31 I'm sorry that I must leave, but I can't stay here any longer.
rlm@0 32
rlm@0 33 My eyes scan the deserted area for you, hoping that I'll have one last chance,
rlm@0 34 To kiss away your tears, to collapse into your arms and lose myself forever in their comforting embrace.
rlm@0 35 But you will not come.
rlm@0 36 You do not see me.
rlm@0 37 Inspiration strikes as I dig through my purse, finally settling on a pen and paper.
rlm@0 38 I will write you a letter.
rlm@0 39 A letter to explain why I had to leave.
rlm@0 40 I will leave it behind for you to read.
rlm@0 41 I quickly jot down my note, the pale cloaked woman gazing over my shoulder.
rlm@0 42 Crimson droplets sprinkle across my letter, a final signature on it's tear soaked surface.
rlm@0 43
rlm@0 44 They say that it's always darkest before the dawn.
rlm@0 45 I'm sorry I couldn't wait till morning.
rlm@0 46 I love you, my darling.
rlm@0 47 But the flight attendent says I have to go.
rlm@0 48 My flight goes a long way up.
rlm@0 49 I'll always be watching over you.
rlm@0 50 Goodnight, my love.
rlm@0 51 Sweet dreams.
rlm@0 52 Never say goodbye, because even though I leave, I will never be apart from you.
rlm@0 53 The view...
rlm@0 54 it's...
