From a Distance

I watch you as you go your way
You have made your choice
I am very sad now
But I will let you go

You look back at me
As if you want to ask
Are you not joining me?
I just hold back my tears

You turn around and walk on
Every step, one further away from me
With pain in my heart
I watch you as you fade in the shadows

I stay where I am
I watch you from a distance
My heart is filled with heaviness
And tears well up in my eyes

I know you will come back
And when you do, I will still be here
Ready to take you in my arms again...
longing to comfort you again
For, whatever you do...wherever you go...
I still love you
