Leaving Me Behind

Here we are again, you having to pack When I just got used to having you back I hate you having to work so far Wanting to see you doesn’t mean just getting in my car Inside I shout “can’t you just stay?” Wishing not another goodbye I have to say But before I know it you’re on your way “Passport? Ticket? Here to check in mate?” “15 minute before you have to be through the boarding gate” I hate it all and I’m trying to be fine But every time it’s you going through, leaving me behind Thousands of miles away Me being here counting each day Before I get to have you back Then again just a while before you have to pack Again that boarding gate I absolutely hate Standing there waving as you disappear in the crowd Airport announcements oh so loud Walking to the car And it feels so far Because I’m feeling alone Knowing when I get there you won’t be home I can’t wait to hear “Here to check in mates?” “15 minutes before you guys have to be through the boarding gate” Not having to stay across the line or say goodbye Maybe then I’d love airports just fine When you’re not leaving me behind

Very heard for someone to live continuously with the threat of separation and the agony of being alone! A very sensitive and true poem that touches the heart dear, B! Great work!
