I know this may be hard for you

It will be for me, too 

Especially after all these years 

That together we've been through 

I don't know how to tell you this

I'm leaving for some time 

I'm going pretty far away 

But don't begin to cry 

I know God has a reason for this 

And though I don't know now 

I've decided I will trust Him 

Though I'm not sure how... 

But promise me just this one thing 

If you begin to wonder 

Never forget, always remember 

I won't be gone forever
