Pondering my next move...on my way out of the mid-west to return to California....one problem:  I'm leaving my love behind :(  So sad but equally grateful for all that we've shared and very open to keeping our relationship going, in whatever form that may be.  My heart feels crushed but equally excited.  It's such an odd experience...this love.

These lyrics captured the feelings festering in my heart.....

The time's come now...I'm afraid.
No headin' back now.  I'm on my way.
My thoughts have lingered on your whispered word,
My eyes on your dark golden hair.
But I'll have to leave you behind.

The morning's here now.  I've come down.
Time to grow up with the dawn.
My mouth has lingered on your sweet lips,
My hands on your warming heart.
But I'll have to leave love behind.

What's ahead now?  How could I know.
I wish I could feel it before I go.

The night has fallen.  Emptiness.  
I'm awake now...it's all a dream.
My thoughts have lingered on the travelled past,
My heart, on that sad goodbye.
I'm here at last...where am I?
All I have left is the love left behind.
My thoughts have lingered on the travelled past,
But I'll have to leave it behind.
Yes, I'll have to leave love behind
