The goodbye's already over, You're driving safely home. I'm sitting here beyond the gates, Feeling so alone. The afternoon seems quieter, Without your voice nearby. I'm holding on to every hug, And our last goodbye. The boarding screen keeps changing, The minutes drift away. My rucksack waits beside me, Like it knows I cannot stay. I'm counting all the miles ahead, Before they've even grown. Wondering if you're thinking too, As you're driving home. The miles may wait before us, But they can't change what's true. My heart is always with you... No matter what I do. I'm counting every mile between us, Before the journey starts. Holding every precious memory, Safe inside my heart. I wish that time would wait for us, Just a little more. Until the day I find my way... Back to your front door. The gate is slowly filling, Another boarding call. I wish that time would lose its way, And not move on at all. Outside the planes keep coming, Inside I barely breathe. Each announcement pulls me closer, To the moment I must leave. I wonder where you are now, How far you've made it home. I hope each mile is kind to you, Until you're safely home. I'm holding all our memories, Like treasures in my hands. Trying hard to hide the tears, Though no one understands. The miles may wait before us, But they can't change what's true. My heart is always with you... No matter what I do. I'm counting every mile between us, Before the journey starts. Holding every precious memory, Safe inside my heart. I wish that time would wait for us, Just a little more. Until the day I find my way... Back to your front door. These tears don't mean I'm losing hope, They only show it's real. No number of tomorrow's days, Can change the way I feel. The miles may stand between us now, But they won't be there forever. This is only for a while... This isn't goodbye forever. I'm counting every mile between us, Though I haven't left today. Every beat inside my heart, Still whispers that I'll stay. I'll carry every laugh we shared, Every kiss, every embrace. Until I'm back where I belong, Looking at your face. This isn't goodbye forever, It's only "see you soon." One day I'll be back in your arms... Much sooner than too soon... One more boarding call... One more deep breath... This isn't goodbye forever. I'll come home to you.
