While I'm Gone

While I'm Gone

To leave you when you needed me most
Is one thing I never thought I'd do,
I can now say it's my biggest regret
I was a coward, I fled from you.

I know that it's something I should never have done
But it's impossible to change the past,
I hope the distance won't tear us apart
I know we can make us last.

My head is filled with thoughts of you
Thoughts of us together,
The one thing I want out of all of life
Is for you and I to last forever.

As I look out at this gorgeous view
I wish you were here to share it,
Being here alone, you being there
It just doesn't seem to fit.

I'll come home to you, that I swear
I'll hold you in my arms again,
You'll never be released from my hold
I'll somehow end all this pain.

Whatever happens between now and then
I know we can work things out,
I messed up terribly by coming here
In the end we'll still be together, I have no doubt.

It may seem like a lifetime
Between now and when I'll be there,
But a few months of our time
Is nothing to the years that we'll share.

While my head is flooding
With memories and images of you,
My love remains consistant
My love will always remain true.
