Goodbye

I think of  you and after a little while 
I find that I start to smile
Because I know the only thing that separates us is all the miles
I know deep in your heart and from the bottom of your soul you feel the same way for me as 
I do for you
Question posed to me now is what am I going to do
Well the only thing I can think of is to go back out there to you
To show what I feel for you is pure, genuine and true
Selfish on my part perhaps yes, but I have to so that I can somehow from all of this pull 
through
I'm not doing this to make you upset or in anyway mad, nor to hurt her 
I'm not coming back out there for us to go back to our teenage years and what back then we 
were
It's simply for me to somehow ease my pain, torture, and torment
Even if the trip is a complete disaster and one to which I just might regret
I have to do this because it's you and those moments together that we turned into sweet 
memories my mind won't let me forget
They are constantly swirling inside my head
Before I know it your laying next to me and holding me tightly in my bed
Yes to each other more words need to be said
This time not over the phone but face to face and contact needs to me made between your 
eyes and mine
I think I've earned and deserve that right to have with you that time
And then and only then after all is said and done
You won't have to turn and feel like you should run
And no don't worry in front of you I won't break down and cry
But I will however, if you want, get up turn around and walk away, with every step I take 
letting you know that this is until we meet again sometime somewhere and these words are 
said within a sigh
You will forever and always be in my heart and for now...
...Goodbye
