He said he's leaving
He's reaching for the door
I want to tell him
I want him to know
Know how I feel
Know what he means to me
Why can't I say it
Why do I keep it bottled up
My breathing gets heavier
He's getting closer
Tomorrow he'll be gone
And he may never know
It's all in slow motion
I watch him walk getting closer
Closer to walking out
And never coming back
I watch how his body sways
I wish for him to be near
To hold me close
Never let me go
I take a deep breath
STOP is all I can get out
I run over to him
I pull him into my arms
I LOVE YOU is all I can get out
And then it was like music to my ears
When he said I love you too

You brought tears to my eyes.. I absolutely love your ending.. "When he said I love you too" a little shiver ran down my back!! This is beautiful! and I am happy to have stumbled upon this today, I kinda needed a little sweetness.

I think you did a superb job on capturing a vivid image here. I can honestly picture a gild running towards a guy that is leaving through a door.You have used a very beautiful image and captured what the song was about at the same time.
