I'm leaving
I see it

But I don't want to

I'm packing
I'm ending

But I don't want to

I'm sleeping
I'm waking
I'm going
I'm coming

But I don't want to

I'm here
I'm ready

But am I really

I'm climbing
I'm reaching

But am I really

I'm growing
I'm shrinking
I'm going
I'm coming

But am I really

I'll be reading
I'll be learning

But always missing

I'll be thinking
I'll be dreaming

But always missing

I'll remember
I'll be back
I'll be going
I'll be coming

But always missing

I don't want to take off my uniform because that means that I'm really gone.
