[Verse 1] I woke up reaching for you. Your side of the bed was empty. You promised you’d wake me before you went away. I called your name, but you were already gone. Your taxi was heading to the airport. Your flight to South Korea was waiting. I pulled on yesterday’s clothes, grabbed my keys and ran to the car. I had to see you. I couldn’t let you leave like this. [Verse 2] The road seemed endless. All I could think about was you. I knew I was running out of time. Maybe you’d already checked in. Maybe I’d never see you again. When I reached the airport, I ran inside and searched the departure board. Then I saw the check-in counters. And there you were, standing in line with your little suitcase. “Lucy!” You turned around. When you saw me, you smiled and threw your arms around my neck. “You shouldn’t have come,” you whispered. “You promised you’d wake me.” “You know I hate saying goodbye.” I held you close. “Then why does this have to be goodbye?” You looked into my eyes. “Because I’m leaving. And I don’t know when I’ll be back.” [Chorus] I came for one last kiss, one last moment before you disappeared. I thought I’d come to lose you. I never imagined what would happen here. [Verse 3] I looked at you and asked, “Is your flight full?” “No,” you said. I checked my phone. There were still tickets available. I took a breath. “Lucy, do you want me to come with you? Or is there someone else waiting for you?” You looked at me seriously. “If you want to come with me, you have to ask me to marry you.” I stared at you for a moment. Then I went down on one knee. “Lucy Jordan Carter, will you marry me?” You laughed and said, “Yes, of course!” You threw yourself into my arms and we fell together onto the floor. People around us started clapping. I had come to say goodbye. Now I was booking a ticket to the other side of the world. [Music softens] [Bridge – Lucy speaks softly] You took my hand and looked at me. “There’s something I’ve never told you.” I waited. “I’ve never loved anyone before. No man has ever had my heart. I always thought I could leave and never look back. But you made me understand something. Wherever I go, whatever happens in my life, I will never be able to forget you. You have become the man I will carry with me forever.” [Brief silence] I looked into your eyes. For once, I had nothing to say. I pulled you close and kissed you. This time, neither of us was saying goodbye. [Final Chorus] I came for one last kiss, but you gave me a reason to stay. I thought I was losing you that morning. Now we’re leaving together. A new country. A new home. A life neither of us expected. And as I take your hand and walk beside you towards the gate, I finally understand. Home isn’t just a place. Sometimes it’s the person you cannot bear to leave. [Outro – Lucy whispers] “Are you really coming with me?” [Male voice – Softly] “Lucy, I just asked you to marry me. Where else would I go?” [End]
