This is hard to start so where to begin
I'm writing this down before the light goes dim
First of all, what's got my mind
Is looking ahead to what I'll leave behind
I hope I've made the most of my time
Will my words have meant much of anything
To anyone at any time
I'd like to think at least a few got through
So many moments come rushing past
Wish I could pick the ones that last
I'm thankful for you who saw me differently
Maybe turned a blind eye to let me be me
Without you there's no telling who I'd be
To the one who gave yourself to me
Waiting forever patiently
As I kept trying to find myself
You know who you are
Those who truly knew me
Love persists even from a far
I hope, even after we leave
As I close this letter and my eyes
A veiled goodbye in a weak disguise
I haven't said much, but maybe just enough
To offer comfort when your road gets rough
I'm in these words I've scribbled down with love
All these moments come rushing past
Wish we could pick the ones that last
You know who you are
Those who truly knew me
Love persists even from a far
I hope, even after we leave
