Once again you leave me with
Thousands of miles bridging
The gap of silence and loneliness
Until we meet again
It hurt this time
An ache so deep in my chest
A lump in my throat so painful
I could hardly say goodbye
I know you noticed it
I could see in your eyes
You were so strong
You didn't want me to see
But it was there
I knew as I started
To drive away from
The airport, from you
The ache became stronger
And my eyes were stinging
With unshed tears
Yes, I knew then
I wish I had told you
While wrapped in your arms
Whispered against your lips
I love you.
