When the tears hit the floor
I knew you wouldn't be coming back
All those nights together
Were all for this point

We wouldn't last forever
And now that fate is calling you
I won't keep you here
When I know you need to go

Don't look back at me
When you set out on that path
I don't want to see the look in your eyes
When you cry one last tear for me

We'll meet up some day later
In a cheap café
We'll have a drink and share old stories
Just to keep up with time

Than we'll separate once again
But this time it will be easier
Because we have that cheap café
To go back to in our times of need

When we're much older
We'll share stories of our vast adventures
Tell me about your trip to France
And how was Italy?

When the tears hit the floor
I knew you wouldn't be coming back
All those nights together
Were all for this pint

Don't look back at me
When you set out to sea
I don't to see the look in your eyes
When you cry one last tear for me

We'll meet up some day later
In a cheap café in the middle of nowhere
We'll have a drink and share old stories
Just to keep up with time

I dream of the days
When we won't separate on the sidewalk
You'll walk home with me
And we'll stay together for just one night

I know you'll leave in the morning
But just give me that one night
To feel your love again
Just for this night

We'll meet up some day later
In a cheap café near home
We'll have a drink and laugh about the past
Just because we've missed those times

Maybe this time
We'll sit until the sun goes down
And we'll go back home
Just to stare at the stars

When the tears hit the floor
I know you wont be staying long
But this night is all I needed
Because now I understand

That I want you to look back at me
When you set out on that path
So I can see your smile
One last time


We'll meet up some day later
In a cheap café
We won't go inside this time
We'll just take that once long path
All the way to our home


When the tears hit the floor
I knew you would be coming back
All those nights together
Were all for this point
"When you leave... please smile at me."

for some reason that paragraph really hit me, and then the rest of the poem kept throwing punches as well. And I mean that in a "good job" kind of way of course
