Goodbyes

In our final kisses
Bittersweet turns salty
As my smile increases in value

Your eyes are glowing
Like the rarest of gems
Emeralds bearing their sadness
To the uncaring world

Before:
There were no good times
Only times when I was less scared
And less paranoid
I had trembled for a long time
Lost
And then there was you
Now returns the fear
Of loss and confusion

Because you're leaving, too
At least I know that you'll come back
Goodbyes aren't forever

I'll gladly listen
We'll pray every night
Though the void will still fill me

Tears drown the feeling
You're so far away
Reality dwarfs the nightmare

I've been through this
Now it's back for another round

Because you're leaving, too
At least I know that you'll come back
Goodbyes aren't forever

Far gone
To a life detached from mine
An explosion of passion
Awaits your return
Goodbyes aren't forever
But if they were I'd still wait

Now you've left me too
My heart knows you'll come back
Goodbyes aren't forever

But I know this is.
