Feels Like Forever

I remember hearing your voice through the phone
not so long ago, a few nights past
it feels like it's been forever but i know
in a few days I'll hear it again
you said so softly
"I'll be home in just a week, love,
we'll figure this out. You'll see.
But for now, keep your head up, Sunshine Girl,
you have a job now, so promise you'll keep busy,
I'll be back in five days.
You won't have time to miss me."
And i tried so hard to keep the tears out of my voice
I tried so hard to fix this after it broke
now halfway to being whole,
you're walking away again.
"not by choice. I'll be home in a week.
We'll work this out, sweety.
You'll see."
