Going, Going, Gone

Going, going, gone

That's where you're going to go

Far away from me.

You're graduating this year

And I'm stuck here for another

But I'd rather be where you are

Forever.

I like it here, where things don't change

Where you're my friend forever.

But of course all things come to an end

And so going, going, gone

But please hold on

Please don't forget.

I don't want to meet you

In a year or two

And find out you've forgotten.

I'm happy for you

And sad for you

And this is a new chapter in your life.

But I want to go with you

I don't want to be left behind.

I have half a year left

Playing

Joking around with

Having fun with

Enjoying

Caring 

About

You.

Where did it all go?

I met you just this summer

And everything flew by

And now we're thinking about how you're leaving

And how I'm going to have to deal with it.

Life goes on

As friends walk out

And you're expected to deal.

But don't change too much

Wait for me

Promise me.

Going, going, gone

I've never cried at school

But at your graduation

I don't know if I'm going to be able to help it.

I don't want to live in the future

I want to stay here with you

Where we have time left

But I know it will fly by

And then you'll be going, going, gone.

I wrote it all out

Every possible scenario

With crying and "I miss you already"s.

Maybe.

But that's not how I want to do this

I don't want to be sad

I mean

I know I will be.

But I want to be happy for you

Even if

Maybe

You'd rather stay here too.

Life

Goes

On.

So I'll listen to all your

Our

Music next year

The year I'll be alone

I'll maybe email you

If I find the courage

And I'll try not to cry

And I'll celebrate our birthday

In between yours and mine

And I will try not to think about

How you'll be

Going

Going

Gone.
