Goodbye

The distance between us gets longer everyday I want the chance to love you come what may In this short time you have meant so much to me Understanding you opened my eyes to see Let me take the chance that I may never get again I want to talk of you without a hint of any shame Something in what you've given me over these past few days The chance that I may love again The tears of a lonely man echo through the night His spirit wanders restless as it sighs Your fatal smile penetrated my Achilles heel You banished the numbness and taught me how to feel I'll never forget your lovely face as I moved away I pray maybe that I'll see you again someday I'll never forget the bitterness I felt inside When I had to utter the fateful word goodbye
