Not ready to say goodbye

I used to be your favourite once, Before I grew and lost my way, Before the role I never played, Before the path I pushed away. And you drifted like a shadow While I tried to chase the light— But love grows quiet in the distance, And I slipped out of your sight. Still I held your name inside me, Like a prayer I never said, Now I’m standing at the doorway To the words I left unsaid. Now time is running thin for us, And I’m scared of what is true— How do I say goodbye When I’m not done loving you? I don’t have the memories I always hoped we’d make— Just an ache and broken pieces Of a bond I couldn’t save. I’ve heard you’ve grown a little older, A little softer in your ways, That you still remember The small things from those days. Like how I’d run into your arms, How you’d lift me when I cried— If I could just go back to then, I’d hold on and never hide. And if the sky should fall tonight, Before I find the words to say, Please know I never stopped loving you— It’s just the years that slipped away. Now time is running thin for us, And I’m scared of what is true— How do I say goodbye When I’m not done loving you? If I could turn the hands of time, I’d heal the hurt, I’d make it right, But here I stand with tears in my eyes— I’m not ready to say goodbye. No, I’m not ready… To say goodbye.
