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