When you said you were leaving I didn't know what you meant
When you said you were leaving I thought you meant you were leaving your brother
You were leaving your sister
You were leaving the mother and father that loved you so much
That you were leaving the house you grew up in for a world full of more possibilities than that small house could offer
But you weren't leaving just us
You were leaving your friends
Your school
Your job
You were leaving the sports you loved to play
When you said you were leaving you told me something you didn't tell the others
You told me you were disappearing
I found this insignificant to your departure
When you said you were leaving I didn't know what you meant
You meant
You were leaving your family
You were leaving your friends
You were leaving your surroundings
You were leaving the Earth
And you weren't coming home
