Come Back to Me

Partings are hard. Try to keep hope in your heart.

You've been with me through a lot,
and I think we've seen it all.
Good and bad, and joy and sad,
we've taken a lot of falls along the way.

 

You've never once let me down,
and I hope that I've backed you up when you needed me.
Bracing me when I'm about to fall,
I don't know where I'd be without you.

 

Good-byes are hard, and farewells are sad.
I don't like to think about them much.
To not see your face for who knows how long is not the easiest thing to bear.
I'll try to remember that you'll come back one day,
but missing you hurts too much for me to forget.

 

I'll continue my life, like you'll want me to,
and I hope you have good times ahead.
But please don't forget me, because I won't forget you.
And keep me in your heart until you come back.
