Gone,

Well lucky you, off to a distant land
Here I’m stuck in my hometowns watchful hand
Who would have thought we’d only have a day
Till you would kiss my lips, then whispering
Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon, just don’t count the days

The days, written in the back of the notes I take in class
Crossing each out on a day to day base
Maybe I’m too anxious
You would say I’m just young
Lingering over those two last days of fun

Summer ended weeks ago
But somehow when you were here, it didn’t show
It didn’t show
Now you’re gone, and here I am
Waiting for a call, a word, to know your fate isn’t damned
I know I’m naive, and you are so strong
Please come back, when these winter days are gone

A single call could bring me to my feet
Glowing a happy, just look at me
You would swear I had conquered some great deed
That same connection, brought me to my knees
Begging a God I don’t pray to, to take my pain and replace it with ease

Summer ended weeks ago
But somehow when you were here, it didn’t show
It didn’t show
Now you’re gone, and here I am
Waiting for a call, a word, to know your fate is no longer damned
I know I’m naive, and you are so strong
Please come back, when these winter days are gone

Days I have crossed out in class
All of them have come and passed
But you’re still not home, you haven’t come back to me
Another call, this one from across the sea
Five bucks a minute, seems like a small fee

Winter ended weeks ago
When you were gone, I know it showed
Now you’re back, you’re waiting there
At the end of an isle, with a joyous stare
I know I’m naive, and you are so strong
You came back from me, those long winter days gone
