I Should Be 500 Miles From Here

The hardest part
I have felt in a while
is saying that word
and walking my miles

Life tears away
the very thing we love
Being with you
and I just can't get enough

Don't ever forget
about what we could've had
Put a smile on your face
for the good, not the sad

I will find you
wherever you are
Looking for you 
under all these stars

You are the thing
that stays on my mind
We didn't meet by mistake
It was a sign

I searched for so long
for the feeling you gave
I was down a dark road
my life you did save

Goodbye doesn't mean
forever at all
I'll come back
if it means I have to crawl

Knowing that you are
without me by your side
truly tears me up
from the out to in side

We must be apart
But this is worth a try
For now my dear
this is temporarily goodbye

My life you did save

You are right goodbye is a sweet sorrow, Cameron
can totally relate...how can something that seems so good....not turn out right...it's one of those "too good to be true"...."good things always come to an end"...well done!! ~ Shauna
