I never thought I’d feel this way,
Never thought you’d feel the same,
Never thought it’d ever happen,
Never thought it’d be this way.
Just your name has an effect,
Just your picture on my phone,
Just your smile takes its toll,
As I glance towards your face
Such a beauty stood before me,
My angel in disguise,
Such a kind, sweet, boy before me,
With sparkling big brown eyes.
Yet, as soon as you are here,
It’s already time to leave,
As soon as you arrive,
Your numbers being called.
As you step into that terminal,
My eyes linger on your face,
As you step aboard the aircraft,
I close my tearing eyes.
When I see you down the runway,
I wonder how you feel,
Wonder if you feel the pain,
At living so far apart.
For once we were a duo,
Once so very long ago,
Once we were inseparable,
Before you had to go.
Yet, no matter how we feel,
It always goes the same,
No matter what we want,
You’re beckoned by that plane.
For you are not of my world,
As I am not of yours,
Both strangers brought together,
And strangers kept apart.
