Before We Go

When we're rushed for time
With the working weak ahead
When it's filled with chores
And timelines that we dread

When it's getting late
And I know I have to go
When I'm about to pass you
And suddenly I slow

I see you standing there
But you no longer move
If I would walk right past you
I'd know you won't approve

And I'm not feeling guilt
It's not the reason why I pause
But when I think of love
I know that it's the cause

It only takes a moment
Where we will barely blink
To hold you in my arms
Should be my instinct

Just to share a moment
And to look you in the eye
To slowly kiss your lips
Before we say goodbye

To whisper I will miss you
Is all that I can say
And in the space of seconds
I know you've made my day
