I'll be gone for a while,

Don't wait up for me;

Remember I love you,

And that's how it'll always be.

The sun might set, but there's light,

It's hidden deep inside your soul,

I know you'll find it.

It might get too dark, but don't lose hope!

Know that I love you, it'll help you cope.

Move on with your life, don't wait for me,

It's time for me to leave, to be set free.

I will be gone for a long time though I don't want to go,

But He didn't give me a choice and I have to.

I'll watch over you, I want to see you smile,

Don't lose your spark, don't dull your light.

I know it hurts, I'm hurt too;

I can taste the salty tears on my tongue too;

I know your heart is breaking because mine is too.

But I know our love is powerful enough to get us both through.

And one day I'll just be a fond memory

Just a few in a million of your treasury.
