Cloud Nine

I was thinking

this is
more than I expected
unforgettable
I am on cloud nine
I am on cloud nine

why do I have to come down?

reality is for
Sunday night
when Saturday is just
a memory
of time with you
I won't ever be able to repeat

And now you are leaving
and so am I
I wonder if we
will ever
feel this way again?

There is more
hope in this goodbye
than I planned
or expected.
