A goodbye

You might be leaving,
It's something I can't handle
If you go, I'll just die
Like the flame on a candle

It seems like so, so long ago
When I got to know you
I always, really really liked you
But for a friend, who kinda liked you, too
I ignored it

I could never stop thinking,
Dreaming, or looking at you
When I realized that it's true
I fell in love with you

I couldn't push the feelings away,
The feelings I feel to this very day
So I told you,
And it turns out,
That you love me, too

Over a a certain summer we drifted,
I thought it was over
But I fell in too deep
So thinking you stopped caring,
And stepped out of the hole,
I just couldn't do it
My feelings were out of control
But even though we drifted for a bit,
My feelings didn't change
Not a smidge
And I even knew the truth,
I was still in love, with you

Later on, all was good
We weren't drifting anymore
We were, and are, so close
Just like before

But now it's different,
You're not drifting,
You're moving
And whenever I think about it,
It feels like something in me died
And I can't even force a smile anymore,
No matter how hard I try

But no matter where you are,
Or how far apart
We are,
I know I'll always love you

But if you do go,
Because goodbyes aren't for certain,
Promise me one thing-
When all the guys are crawling over you,
No matter what happens,
Or how great they all are,
Promise you won't totally forget me
And if your next boyfriend is doing something you dislike,
You could make them stop by saying,
"HE never did that,"
or "Don't give up! HE never stopped trying!"

I won't ever forget you,
And I'd bet my life on it, too
'Cause I fell in,
Still do
And always will,
Love you
