LINGER

I'm not yet ready to go.
It's well past the sunrise I came here for,
And everything is so perfect that
I'm not ready to go.

I want to,
And I know that the time is now,
But still I want to linger
Here in the sun.

I wonder what there is for me
To go back to...
And I know those very questions
Are why I must leave.

I am ready to go,
I just don't want to.
I just don't want to say goodbye.
