Keep This Going

We’ll have to say goodbye
With a tear falling from our eye.
I’ll cry when you aren’t mine,
My tears will be the ones to shine.
I’ll miss you beyond belief,
Nothing could ever bring relief.
It has to be done though,
This I firmly know.
But could it last?
Could it hold fast?
We’d never see each other.
We’d never be together.
But could we make it work?
Tell me if you want it to work.
I want to keep this going,
I want you to go knowing
I want you by my side.
I need you by my side.
