A vague goodbye

I don't want to say goodbye.
But I can see the tears in your eyes.
And I'm starting to taste mine.

I don't want to let my whole life pass me by.  It might be you, and maybe we're all wrong about us.  I don't want to see you cry and I don't want to taste my own tears...they taste...they taste like bitterness.  I don't want to be left behind, so take me with you please.

Wherever you may be going please take me with you.  Let us run away and hide together.  The world will count to ten and we'll run and hide and when its safe we'll come out and together we will run to safe.  I'll hold your hand if you hold mine, and I promise I won't let go this time.  No, not this time.  I swear I'll take you by the hand and "it" won't catch us.  Just run with me.

Whatever you do don't say it's over, I've only given up a little I'm not ready to completley give up.  Just give it another chance, we can do this.  If you're tired we can stop for a little and you can catch your breath, but whatever you do...don't give up..no not yet.  We're so close to safe...almost...there...just...a...little..more.  Please.  Just run with me.

I don't want to say goodbye.
But I can see the tears in your eyes.
And I'm starting to taste mine.

Goodbye.
