Moving Away

My heart aches so bad because I’m moving away

Will he come to see me?

I’ll be far away

But we both know I have to go

There hasn’t been enough time to really know you

But yet I love you all the same

Please don’t tell me it’s over

Commit to seeing me again

My heart would shatter into a thousand pieces

If I never saw you again

Please baby at least say “I love you” before I go so I know your feelings are true

We both know I have to follow my dreams and do what makes me happy

But my future is nothing without you

I know it’s complicated

And I know it’s messy

But we can make it work

That much is true

We are like teenagers when we are together

And they say it is important to stay young at heart

We laugh

We love

We are inseparable

We are infinite

We should be growing old together

Time is running out

I have to leave soon

Why must my heart be breaking when it should be rejoicing over this new opportunity

Don’t tell me goodbye

I’m starting to suffocate

I want to cry

My broken heart wants to die

I’m going to hyperventilate at the thought of losing you

It’s not over

I’ll keep telling myself you’ll be there to see me in no time

And your feelings will be announced

I’ll tell myself you miss me every day and it’s driving you mad

So you’ll have to see me

I’ll remind myself that you feel the same

I’ll tell myself constantly

Until you are ready to tell me yourself

Please baby don’t let me lose someone I’ve loved more than anyone else in my entire life combined

I need more time

I need to be a part of your life

I want to be the one you wake up to and the one you always kiss goodnight

I want to be your forever

Don’t let it end like this

(Please!)
