Awaking in a startle,
Feeling as if I’m drowning.
It’s not a good feeling,
Knowing today you’re leaving.
Walking down the stairs,
I know where you’re sleeping,
I sit beside you, you’re eyes still opening,
Knowing today you’re leaving.
Kissing you in the dark,
I know well, this feeling.
Certainly the world is not ending,
But I know, today, you’re leaving.*
It’s not a good feeling,
Knowing you’re gone.
*Knowing you’ll be back,
Is what keeps me going on.
I loved you yesterday,
Love you a little more today,
And if it’s possible,
It’ll grow a little more tomorrow.
