Broken-Promised Goodbyes

Folder: 
Broken Heart

The way I felt as you looked into my eyes

When you held me in your arms so tight

I didn't want to think about "goodbyes"

You made everything feel so right



We laughed together and so did we cry

We held each other close all night long

And then we had to say goodbye

Suddenly right seemed to do me wrong



We went days, weeks, and months without each other

A phone in my hand, a tear in my eye

If we're ever again together

Will it mean again goodbye?



I lie awake alone at night

Hoping you'll stay to hold me tight

And a tear drips from my eye

As I wonder, "Again, will I have to say goodbye?"



Excuse after excuse you make

To leave me again, to go away

Night after night tears seep from my eyes

As I think of all those broken-promised goodbyes

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Long distance relationships are hard to keep. One minute everything is perfect - you can hold each other, be together, and there's no one else in the world but the two of you. But then, he has to leave, promising to be back soon... and you can't help but wonder "Is this goodbye? What if he breaks his promise this time?"...Well...that was a relationship without Christ...and it made me stronger, knowing that in my future relationships, Christ WILL come first...and then if it is HIS will...goodbyes won't be something to worry about!
