I remember our last night
You had that look in your eyes
And I knew somewhere
You were saying goodbye

While I was holding on
You were letting go
I remember...
Time slowed to a crawl

The words you spoke
Weren't really yours
Something else had taken over
It was all in the look in your eyes

Your voice said go
But your eyes said stay
So I wrapped myself in you
And held on tight

Tried to console you
Until we feel asleep
And for a moment
Everything made sense

Then morning came
I had a plane to catch
An unpacked suitcase
No time to waste

I remember our final goodbye
Outside the security gate
Tears blurred my vision
Pain consumed my heart

I felt your strong arms
And your soft lips
Whisper, "I love you"
Then I had to go

I saw you one last time
******* a kiss
And as I tried to catch it
You were already gone
