After you take flight,
beyond my reach and out of my sight,
through the stars and into the night...
I hope you understand why I didn't say goodbye. 
The fact that you're going to be gone, my heart still denies... 
I keep asking you the same question... "Why?"
but I really don't wanna hear the answer 
when I'm looking into your eyes. 
I don't think I could take the pain.
As you'd begin to speak, I know that I'd already start to cry...
It's so hard to accept that there is no longer an "us," 
but now just a "you" and an "I."
We've gone through it all together...
how could you want to let it all go, 
how can you just tell me, "Well- hey, we tried?"...
How can you just leave me here like this...
my heart feels so denied...
If I told you I'd be strong, it would only be a lie.
I love you that much, that when you left 
I couldn't be there to say goodbye.
You have to understand that I had to let you spread your wings, 
my beautiful butterfly,
where freedom lies and you can fly...
Who knows?... maybe someday fate will bring us together again, 
and be on our side... 
But for now I'll just let you leave with your pride...
maybe you'll come back my way someday, 
but if you do... 
Let it be a day when we can say "hello" again... and not "goodbye."
