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
