Just Say

You never said goodbye.

I never said all right;

It would have been a lie.

You hid just out of sight.

I know you’re always there.

You’re always keeping track,

without a word to share.

Bravery, you lack.

But if you were to walk

out from behind your shade,

subtract time from the clock,

recite promises we made,

I’d sweep all of the sorrow

away from your brow.

Love waits for tomorrow

if we tell it how.

I still see our moon,

though she now seems to hang low.

Just say you’ll be home soon.

That’s all I need to know.
