To See You Go

I don't want to see you go,

To fly off into the sky.

I don't want to see your lips

Telling me goodbye.

 

I don't want to leave your arms

Holding me so tight-

Sending me back into the dark,

For you are my light.

 

I don't want to leave your warmth

And stay frozen, solid, alone.

I don't want to see you leave,

For my patience I must hone.

 

If ever must I stand alone

Forever I will roam

To search for you forever more,

For you are my home.

 

I'll wait for you a thousand years,

Or ten if I must.

I'll wait for you until I drop,

Until my bones turn to dust.

 

If only you'll say the words I long,

Pray to leave your lips-

Eight letters, three words, and then

To seal it with a kiss.
