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...
