*** Song note *** < I created this song with a simple catchy chorus to begin with, then along the way I made adjustments to fit in the mood and style that I enjoyed with: Heavy Metal. > < Eventually, the "grief" hit me, as I have lost good people who have been integral to me, both as a human, and in character. So, indirectly this song hits me inside, as how the song turned out, a turmoil of emotions. > < Thanks for listening, and thanks for the opportunity. This is not goodbye, but see you next time. > *** End note *** It hit like thunder, it's silent but loud, Your name's in the air, like a ghost in the crowd. I can see you laughing from the back of my mind, Like time’s a thief that I can’t rewind. We made many memories like mixtapes on fire, Dreamt under streetlights, talkin’ 'bout higher. Now I’m stuck here with a heavy heart full of lines, And tears that rhyme, but never felt right. How are you my friend? I hope you're doing fine... This is not goodbye, but see you next time, You’re still in my heart, where the stars align. I’ll hold your name in the songs I write, So it's not goodbye… just see you next time. We had bro codes, handshakes and inside jokes, Now I’m pouring out the pain in the words that I spoke. The world keeps spinning round but I stay paused, Can’t call your line, can’t even get your missed call. Your chair's still there, but the soul is missing, Every photo’s a wound that I kept resisting. You showed me the light, when my skies were gray, Guess angels get called even when they can't stay. How are you my friend? I hope you're doing fine... This is not goodbye, but see you next time, You’re still in my heart, where the stars align. I’ll hold your name in the songs I write, So it's not goodbye… just see you next time. I light a candle when the nights feel cold, Speak to your shadow like it still holds gold. If love could’ve saved you, you’d still be here— But I’ll meet you again, past the pain and fear. This is not goodbye... I'll see you next time... This is not goodbye, but see you next time, I feel your laugh in the wind sometimes. So I’ll keep you close in this soul of mine, And whisper to the stars... see you next time. See you next time... (I'll see you next time... ) "Save me a place up there... I’ll find you when it’s time."
