i hope your goodbye
is not for good,
that you'd come back for me,
that in this war, we won't lose,
that you'd miss me like the morning sun
as it fades into view,
the world may seem like it's crumbling,
but i promise my tomorrow will always be you,
all these restless nights,
all my guilt and countless tears,
in exchange for your gentle kindness,
for us to be together, a lifetime of years—
i've loved you ever since,
i've loved you like the first time,
promise me you'd never let me go,
forever and always, your hand holding mine.
