don’t say goodbye just yet
our time isn’t over
tell me that you’ll see me soon
so I can look at you and not have to wonder
because I feel the emptiness too much
it squeezes my throat and chokes my heart
I hear your absence and notice the space you clutched
beside me where you used to sleep
so see you soon I say
as I stop my tears from falling again
now you’re not here to catch the strays
like you did so many times back then
one day I’ll be with you
and tears of joy will fall
now give me the comfort of the lie
so I don’t have to face the truth
too weak to accept it but too strong to admit
that I am nothing without you
barely alive without my best bit
I love you too much for this
and I know you love me too
but all the words can’t comfort me
so see you soon my friend
