Knots in my stomach
Churning turmoil
in my mind
Happy, Sad, Confused,
Mad...

all at the same time

I feel the tears begin
burning behind my eyes
I think, "I am stronger than this"
He says, "Please don't cry"

I take a breath
I've done it a thousand times
Moving in slow motion
Buckle my seatbelt
Shift into drive
Passenger door closes
He walks around,
My window down
His hand caresses my face
One last kiss
Before I drive away...

"Don't look in the rearview"
"Don't do it",
I say to myself,
and look anyway...

I see him turn,
Head bowed down,
Slowly walking away,
I take my foot off the break,
Slowly coasting
once again down the long
lonely highway
towards the place I call home...

As memories cascade
uncontrollably through
my mind,
I remember our time together
Every second,
Every moment,
Every hour,
Every touch...
and
I let the tears fall...

Did we say Good-Bye?
Is this the end?
Will I ever see him again?
