If I...

Sometimes I want to run away
When I cry myself to sleep.
I wonder, "If I ever leave,
Will anyone, at all, miss me?"

Will my friends care if I'm gone?
Will my parents worry when I don't come home.

Please know that I will always
Love you, if I ever go away.
And I won't be gone for very long;
I'll be back for you someday.

You told me if I left you'd die,
But this I have to do.
And I'll be back when I get done.
I love and will miss you.
