When you left, I promised you I wouldn't cry
And I didn't 'til I realized you were gone.
Now these tears I cry just keep falling -
No way to turn them off or on.
You see it's only when I think of you -
No other's had this affect on me.
I don't want selfishness to show through;
Can't control myself, to a degree.
But in these thoughts, hating my state,
I think of you and see your sweet face,
And all my sorrow flows away -
Along with all of my dismay.
I know how hard it is for you
Just as it's hard for me,
If it's God's will, He'll pull us through,
The distance will decrease.
The times we spend together,
Though infrequent they may be,
May prove to be for better....
Lest you see the selfish me.
