goodbye for now

I'm going to see if Heaven is real--

I know you've been wanting to know,

and if I am gone for too very long,

you'll know it's okay to follow.

I'm leaving before all music turns grey--

the sound of beating wings surrounds.

I am not lost so long as you love me;

I know you know I'm safe and sound.

I would die one million lives to live once,

just once, one life with you my dear,

and I would live one million lives alone

just to die once with you right here.

Nothing between us has been left unsaid;

we both know none of it matters.

Let go of regrets, turn into your heart--

I'll be there from here on after.
