A Long Kiss Goodbye (For Now)


I've never had trouble saying goodbye
Never, at least until today
I've usually been the one to go
But now I wish you could stay

I didn't think I'd give a long kiss goodbye
But our days past have been just that
Ever since the deadlines have surfaced
Ever since I've started trying to forget

I've never needed to try so hard
To let go, or to hold on
I've never thought I'd be the one
To be teary-eyed, forlorn

I've never know a quiet so loud
That I try to fill every moment
I can with the necessary and the odd
Just so I wouldn't be frozen

I've said goodbye as much as I should
But today, tonight
I've finally had to mean it
As you take off on your flight
