It's The Parting That's Hard
That last kiss, that last look in your eyes, The last smile, it’s so hard to smile, When leaving your side, homeward bound, I want to scream at the top of my voice, Don’t let me go, I don’t want to, Tell me to stay, but we both know I have to, I drive off looking back at where you stood, Longing to see you just once more, Just one last look before that long journey back home, I know it’s hard for you too, standing there, Watching me go, we both know it will be a while, Before I am back in your arms once again, so hard, Being apart, for even a short while, It gets more difficult every time, To leave you, you have your life there, I have mine here, as mundane as they are, There are people around us, family and friends, And yet, we just long to be together, To hold one another, to just be, So much love between us, so much to do and say, But our words speak less, much less, Than the looks we give each other, the knowing looks, Of two lovers, making the most of their time, Together, both hoping that, One day we will not have to leave each other again, And that the cuddles, the kisses, And those looks of love won’t be so far apart, We both know we are always together, In our hearts and in our heads, But the parting is so hard, I miss you baby, I miss you so very much, and I ache for the next time, We are together again for real, Just you and I, in each other’s arms. With each other, nothing else matters, No expectations, no trying, Just being ourselves, us, Just being, it’s those times, That are so wonderful, oh baby, I do so love you, It’s the parting that’s hard.
