I leave you now.

I have to go.

You aren't coming

Though I wish it was so.

You've watched me grow-

You've nurtured your rose-

Held me close

As you'd dispel my woes,

Yet now I leave

And I'm all alone.

Though we hate it,

I must be on my own.

But this time too,

Won't you come with me

Instead of staying back

As my tears fall free?

The train goes by

As you're left behind

But as the trees run by,

It's you on my mind.

I crave your presence-

Your hugs and smiles

So I hold on,

Knowing home's beyond those miles.

This isn't goodbye.

It never will be,

But this time too,

Won't you come with me?
