I will not tell you
That I am going to miss you
It will only burden your back
with the bittersweet weight of regret

I want to send you on your way
with a light and open heart
and an empty bag to be filled
with growth and joy

But I will tell you
That I’ll be waiting for you
If you decide to return
To listen to all of your stories
To learn from what you have seen
