Fasten your seatbelt
Tuck your baggage away
And in case of emergency
follow steps A, B, and C
in that pamphlet nobody reads.

Was there an "in case of" pamphlet I didn't bother to see?
Like in case you have to say goodbye, follow steps x, y, and z?

Why doesn't love come with a warning label? Like if you remove part A, part B will not run as efficiently.

Today I boarded a plane
And I flew away (from you)
Which is the same thing.
Because we're two parts of a whole and nothing is whole When its parts are apart.

I can try to self deceive
Repeating that you're just right here down the hall and when I wake up in the morning it'll be to you jumping on my bed and literally dragging me out of it.

But I know that you're days away and that's a hard thing to know because I know you. (And I love you.)

And now I'm lying in bed trying to figure out how long "soon" is and how to measure the distance between now and "later" when I see you again.
