letra de departure - the green leaves

i find myself out of breath from time to time
as i depart all eyes are misty, reflecting on what
was left behind
i promise i’ll visit soon, if only in my dreams
i won’t be gone long, even if that’s how it seems
the man that i left at the airport grows more
distant each day
my breathing is labored
i can’t breathe the same anymore
my breaths are stuttered
each inhale and exhale is labored
i manage to force it out
if i heard my wheezing i would see it as a cry for help
or perhaps that’s just what i tell myself
that if i saw someone in my shoes, that i would
reach a hand out
the worst part is, that i’m surrounded by
people just like me
and no one ever reaches
did you not believe me when i said time flies?
just as i touch down i’m headed back again, again
you should have believed me when i said
that time flies
at the end of the day, everybody dies
treading water with no flotation, my lungs grow tired
so i guess i’ll just exhale and never breathe in again
they said:
“look in the mirror, is this what you wanted?”
i didn’t hesitate when i responded
i may have been the only one
i can still hear you saying my name, i hear it
when i close my eyes
as if you were right beside me
right beside me
i never thought i would find home in a place
so far away
i no longer breathe
