You packed your bags today, its only a few more semesters…
I know that dear, but it still feels like forever…
Each time you leave, you take so much of me with you…
And I know you got to get away,
I hate this place it brings me down too.
Its so much harder when you’re away,
My streak of sunshine on a cloudy day.
I’m not the same person without my better half,
And I’ll count every second till I can hear your laugh, my better half.
The summer nights, we share.
You always fall asleep before me, your temple on my chest.
And I can smell the scent from the top of your head.
Its all memory… that will always keep me happy when you’re far away, and I’m feeling lonely.
Its so much harder when you’re away,
My streak of sunshine on a cloudy day.
I’m not the same person without my better half,
And I’ll count every second till I can hear your laugh, my better half.
I still dream about you…
Do you dream about me?
I can almost feel you…
Every time that I sleep.
All I want is to be with you….
But I know that can’t be.
Cause you went away to college so you could get a good degree.
But after that, we should be fine, and I’ll be with you all the time.
Maybe not, I’m so unsure, what if you get a job that lets you travel the world?
I know thats what you want, and thats what I want too…
For you to be happy, even if I’m not with you.
But, let me rephrase, we’ll never truly be apart.
We’ll have a constant connection between our souls and our hearts.
And even if we end up, on opposite sides of the earth…
You’ll always be my one true love,
Until they put us down in the dirt.
