rlm@2 1 Now Boarding

rlm@2 5 I'm leaving now.
rlm@2 6 My bags are packed, my ticket held firmly in hand.
rlm@2 7 My hair flutters about my shoulders as the wind kisses me goodbye,
rlm@2 8 Her gentle touch a momentary distraction.
rlm@2 9 Where are you?
rlm@2 10 I thought you would come to see me off.
rlm@2 11 But I hate long goodbyes.
rlm@2 12 I hate the tears and the pain.
rlm@2 13 I hate missing you so much.
rlm@2 14 But I won't miss you long.
rlm@2 15
rlm@2 16 My bags are packed, I'm ready to go.
rlm@2 17 The time is almost ready.
rlm@2 18 I'm leaving early, you see.
rlm@2 19 They wanted me to stay much longer,
rlm@2 20 But I really must be going.
rlm@2 21 This place, it holds too much sadness for me.
rlm@2 22 The tears drown me in their numbers.
rlm@2 23 So I'll be off now, as soon as my ride arrives.
rlm@2 24 The flight attendant is a beautiful woman
rlm@2 25 With short black hair and a midnight cloak and a scythe that reflects the moonlight.
rlm@2 26 Her face is white, pale as newly fallen snow.
rlm@2 27 She beckons me.
rlm@2 28 My flight has arrived.
rlm@2 29 But still I balk, looking for you.
rlm@2 30 I still want to say goodbye.
rlm@2 31 I'm sorry that I must leave, but I can't stay here any longer.
rlm@2 32
rlm@2 33 My eyes scan the deserted area for you, hoping that I'll have one last chance,
rlm@2 34 To kiss away your tears, to collapse into your arms and lose myself forever in their comforting embrace.
rlm@2 35 But you will not come.
rlm@2 36 You do not see me.
rlm@2 37 Inspiration strikes as I dig through my purse, finally settling on a pen and paper.
rlm@2 38 I will write you a letter.
rlm@2 39 A letter to explain why I had to leave.
rlm@2 40 I will leave it behind for you to read.
rlm@2 41 I quickly jot down my note, the pale cloaked woman gazing over my shoulder.
rlm@2 42 Crimson droplets sprinkle across my letter, a final signature on it's tear soaked surface.
rlm@2 43
rlm@2 44 They say that it's always darkest before the dawn.
rlm@2 45 I'm sorry I couldn't wait till morning.
rlm@2 46 I love you, my darling.
rlm@2 47 But the flight attendent says I have to go.
rlm@2 48 My flight goes a long way up.
rlm@2 49 I'll always be watching over you.
rlm@2 50 Goodnight, my love.
rlm@2 51 Sweet dreams.
rlm@2 52 Never say goodbye, because even though I leave, I will never be apart from you.
rlm@2 53 The view...
rlm@2 54 it's...
