I could see you getting on the plane,
But we were dancing.
Sure, we looked pretty stupid
But you were leaving on Monday,
And I could see the clock, counting down.
Days
Hours
Minutes
Seconds
I could see you getting on the plane
You were different from them
You saved me from them
And I promised I'd hug you before you left.
Gosh!
I can't believe you left.
I memorized you.
I knew your favourite colour
Favourite song
Favourite place
And I could see you there,
Far
Far away.
When the days turned to hours,
And the hours turned to minutes,
And the minutes were gone,
I kept my promise
But I could feel you forget me
And I couldn't think
Because the minutes turned to seconds
And the seconds ran out!
And I was alone.
Everybody kept moving
Things kept happening
My world was ending
And you just kept walking away.
Gosh!
I can't believe you walked away!
I couldn't feel and
My mind was blank
Because
I
LOST
YOU.
And I could see you getting on the plane
In that second that you walked away.
I remember your face
In that instant that I let you go.
Gosh!
I can't believe I let you go.
