Save Goodbye For Another Day

The tears stroll down my cheek- As I think of what's to come,

Memories flash throughout my head- With a few, more clear than some.

It seems like just yesterday- We were thinking of how the future'd be,

Now it seems like tomorrow- That you will already be leaving me.

It's not the way I planned things- It's not how I thought they'd be,

I always thought I'd have you forever- I thought you'd always be my baby.

Before you, I had nothing- You made me smile when I was mad,

And now I have to let go- Of the only good thing I've ever had.

I'm sorry if this makes you sad- Or even worse if it makes you cry,

But I promise if I'm around when you read it- I'll wipe the tears from your eyes.

I don't know when I'll see you again- But I keep telling myself that I will,

I don't wanna face it that you're really leaving- So I keep telling myself it isn't real.

It's ironic that thought of you leaving- Has always been one of my fears,

And now it's actually happening- And the day is nearly here.

I don't want you to forget about me- And the life that you used to live,

Because I want to love you again- Because there's stills o much to give.

I refuse to sit and tell you goodbye- Because those words hurt too much to say,

So for now I'll just say see you later- And we can save goodbye for another day.
