I want to see you again

I thought it was bearable until Rose asked me “don’t you wonder what would have happened if you stayed?” My heart pounded so heavily if it was going to jump out of my throat at any moment. When the plane finally took off, I cried. I cried because I will never know the answer and for a person who leaves no stone unturned, it was worse than a death sentence. Her question tormented my soul. There were times when I thought I couldn’t get through another second unless I jump back on that plane again. Still, I had to calm down and wake up to reality. Maybe I will never find out what would have happened. But that’s ok. We had a great time together and let’s just leave it at that. Still, I can’t go on not think of him everyday and night.


Two weeks away it feels like the whole world should've changed
But I'm home now
And things still look the same
I think I'll leave it till tomorrow to unpack
Try to forget for one more night
That I'm back in my flat on the road
Where the cars never stop going through the night
To a life where I can't watch sunset
I don't have time
I don't have time

I've still got sand in my shoes
And I can't shake the thought of you
I should get on, forget you
But why would I want to
I know we said goodbye
Anything else would've been confused but I wanna see you again

Tomorrow's back to work and down to sanity
should run a bath and then clear up the mess I made before I left here
Try to remind myself that I was happy here
Before I knew that I could get on the plane and fly away
From the road where the cars never stop going through the night
To a life where I can't watch sunset
And take my time
Take up our time

I wanna see you again
Two weeks away, all it takes to change and turn me around, I've fallen
I walked away and never said that I wanted to see you again.
