I'M LEAVING TONIGHT

It's now my turn to go
Oh, how I'll miss you so
I'm sorry that I have to leave
But you have to understand that I need to be free
Free of this life and it's horrible hold
I have such a tale too long to be told
I shall bring it with me wherever I go
I have so many things left to show
Please do not cry
And please don't think this our last goodbye
Never feel bad
Just remember all the great times we had
I'll never forget any of the times we had
Whether they were good or whether they were bad
I wish right now I made a wiser choice
If I did I'd still hear your voice
I wish I could feel your lips
And oh how I crave one last kiss
I regret doing what I did
For turning and twisting off that lid
And suddenly I'm thinking what I did was right
You were never there to hold me tight
I don't think I would've ever found love
It's about as rare as a pure white dove
I wish the thought of you would just go away
But for some reason I want you here today
Never give up in anything you do
Even if you don't succeed somebody will always be proud of you
Never think you've made a mistake
And never let anybody make you think you're a phony or a fake
I know sometimes it's hard
And I know some people push too far
But never let someone hurt you so bad
And never let anyone make you real sad
I know sometimes it's tough
But please understand things do get rough
Don't fall in love too fast
Just make sure it's going to last
Remember I'll always love you
And I swear I'll always keep an eye on everything you do
And when life gets rough
And you think you've had enough
Remember I'm always here
And just to rid yourself of all your tears
I'm sorry I have to leave like this
And I'm sorry all I have to give is one last kiss
You were the love of my life
But....I'm leaving tonight.

I'm sorry, it's probably very badly written, or at least the places where the lines are. I hope you all get my message though. Thank you for being so kind to me.

~~Love,
Amy
