Walking Away Again
By darkness_descends
Choking on my tears
Perfect little drops of fire
Stinging at my eyes
Etching sadness on my face
Scorching my heart
Each tear bringing me
Another agonizing reminder
That my love is growing farther away
With every second
As ground and mountains
Rush by beneath me
While I look out the window
Of an uncomfortable plane
Flying farther from dreams
To arrive in nightmares
The loneliness I know so well
Awaits me at this place I call home
This place so far from my love
Where I only have pictures and a phone
And a sea of sadness to swim through
All the while my heart is breaking
My head is pounding
My chest is burning
And the tears
Are threatening to take me
I want to fall into slumber
Where in my dreams
My love will be waiting
With a warm smile
A loving embrace
Eyes to get lost in
And a kiss to calm the burning of my tears
But I can't even close my eyes
As everytime I do
I am back to saying good bye
That last moment in her arms
And the final kiss
That must last me until
I am again back in the safety of her arms
And having to watch her walking away yet again
Wanting to run back and never leave
All the while knowing it's not possible
It would only cause more pain
For both of us
So I walk away for a second time
And it hurts just as much as the first.
(personal note: we will get through this cruel test of life and love and
be together again
know that I will always love you and never turn away no matter how hard
this gets)

As I said in another comment, you have before, and you will now. I don't think that there is anything that can come between you two.
