So here it is,
‘Come Back When You Can’ by Barcelona

I’ve been led on, to think that we’ve been trying for too long.
Every time we drift, we’re forcing what is wrong.
At last that voice is gone.

Please take your time, but you’ve got to know that I am taking sight.
You look good with your patient face and wandering eye.
Don’t hold this war inside.

Come back when you can. Let go, you’ll understand.
You’ve done nothing at all to make me love you less.
So, come back when you can.

You left your home, you’re so far from everything you know.
Your big dream is crashing down and out your door.
Wake up and dream once more.

Come back when you can. Let go, you’ll understand.
You’ve done nothing at all to make me love you less.
So, come back when you can.

Come back, I’ll help you stand. Let go, and hold my hand.
If all you wanted was me, I’d give you nothing less.
So, come back when you can.

This post will stay here till you are back.
And between now and then, till I see you again..
You will be kept within the weakest part of me, my heart.

Love,
Me
