We should never say goodbye's, they seem like forever's. I think see you soon or on your return sounds better. My heart fills up each time I say a goodbye and it doesn't matter how I say it, I often wonder will it be the last goodbye, one never knows what the future holds and I always treat every moment as though it may be the last, knowing I will have no regrets.

Lonely Goodbye's

I stand alone at the window,
I bravely wave my goodbye,
I am not sure of what to do now,
So I sit for a moment to cry.

I pray for your safe return,
I wonder if he has other plans for you,
Then I decide to move on with the day,
Not really knowing what I am to do.

I wait patiently by the phone,
Knowing that soon you'll call me,
Reassuring me, all is well,
And soon you will return safely.

How I hate those lonely goodbye's,
For they fill my heart with such fear,
For I never want a last goodbye,
Cause you are my life, darling dear.

It's only a week, and you'll be home,
Safe in my arms once more,
Then once again I'll not worry of you,
For lonely goodbye's to the one I adore.
