you were gone, like magic
as though a click of the finger
and you disappeared
without a trace
the magician had performed the trick
and i was left on stage
the once trusty assitant
was now standing alone
oblivious to what had just happened
and so much time had passed
i refused to close the curtains
i knew i had to wait it out
or else the pain would kick in
and i would realise that you left
without a word
without even a sound
and i blamed myself for so long
but i refused to leave
even when the audience had packed up
even when the lights fell dim
even when i was told to exit
if you came back and i was gone
i would never have forgiven myself
because then you returned
after countless nights of wonder
i saw your face again
and it was even better than before
because i knew the truth behind the trick
but then i found out about a new trick
one never tried before
that you had to experience
and you would be gone for longer
and even though im scared
i won't leave that stage
i'll set up camp and be there when you're back
i understand why you need to go
you found your place beyond the rainbow
and ive never seen you happier
i want you to return, i understand you
sometimes its hard to leave oz
and return back to kansas
i want you to try new tricks
because you are so amazing
and you are an inspiration on me
to try tricks of my own
and be as magical as you
there is one little thing though..
i'm going to miss you dorothy :(
