You have been written on my heart

There is a list engraved on my heart
A list that feels like it will never stop growing
A list with names from all over the world
Of people I have loved, grown, learned, cried and laughed with
An ache in my heart for people that I just want to be with
A haunting ache for all the people that I have had to let go of
People that I want to talk to for just a minute
That distance wouldn't hinder us
I don't want to imagine how much longer this list will grow
When I move on again, when my time in this home is gone
When God asks me to move on, to follow him
I let you all into my heart far too quickly
It scares me when I think of adding your name to the list
Missing you the way I miss everyone else
You would be one more person on the list of people I have to leave
This place would become another city with people that I love
I feel fear for a time that is years away
Some days I feel like burying my head in the sand, trying to forget about the people that I miss
If I just stayed in one place, if I didn't leave then I wouldn't have this fear
But what happens when God asks me to move on, to follow him?
Your names have been written on my heart, you have left your mark
