So I'll see you

So I'll see you when I'll see you
Though I don't know when that'll be
Could be another twenty years 'til we're finally
In the right place at the right time
Many years down the line
And though I know I'm following illusions in my mind
I will carry on pretending that our paths will cross again someday
That circumstances will align, and maybe then you'll stay

Timing wasn't on our side and even though we really tried
The only thing we didn't have was time
Will there be a moment when we can meet to try again
Or is this just a fantasy, a daydream only I can see
A story that has power over me

So I'll see you when I'll see you
At least that's what I'll say
'Cause currently I can't imagine any other way
'Cause I'm just hiding in a story, head buried in the sand
And yet another part of me fully understands
That I'm just under the conviction that we'll bump into each other and
I'm clinging to a fairy-tale that isn't in my hands

Crumbling castles in my mind, I've built myself a childish dream
Wove it into something that is fraying at the seams
I find it strange how even though part of me already knows
I'm living in two separate worlds at once

Is this ok, is this ok? Can I let myself pretend
'Cause it's true that either way, we don't yet know how this will end
Double levels of understanding
Maybe I need to soften the landing
So I guess I'll have to see
If one day I'll grow to be
Strong enough to dare to let you go

So I'll see you when I'll see you
Is what we chose to say
We settled on a friendly hug before you went away
And a moment's hesitation was quickly swallowed by the noise
Passed the point of no return, already made your choice
And the chaos of the station somehow seemed to pass you by
You turned around, without a sound, and waved your last goodbye
