~ The Long
Drive ~
I don't
want to
let go of
our loving
embrace,
We've
shared a
special
time in
what is
now a
special
place.
Does my
voice give
away the
pain that
I feel
inside?
Knowing
that I
must leave
you, my
tears can
I hide?
The road
before me
stands
ready, but
I don't
want to
go,
It's a
lonely
journey
that
awaits me,
this I
hope you
know.
I'll miss
your
smiles,
your
laughter,
all your
little
charms,
Achingly,
I'll miss
your
kisses and
holding
you in my
arms.
Seeing the
pain upon
your face,
makes this
very hard
to bear,
The
anguish in
your eyes
tells me,
parting's
pain is
shared.
Now,
there's a
lump in my
throat as
I begin to
drive
away,
The tears
begin to
flow, oh
how I wish
I could
stay.
Mile by
mile, town
by town, I
unwantingly
drive,
Until we
meet again
on
memories
newly
created,
I'll
survive.
My spirit
I leave
with you,
please
hold it in
your
heart,
As dearly
as I hold
yours in
mine,
whenever
we're
apart.
