Its definite

Leaving On A Jet Plane

All my bags are packed I'm ready to go
I'm standin' here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breakin' it's early morn
The taxi's waitin' he's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could die

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh baby, I hate to go

There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
I tell you now, they don't mean a thing
Every place I go, I'll think of you
Every song I sing, I'll sing for you
When I come back, I'll bring your wedding ring

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go

Now the time has come to leave you
One more time let me kiss you
Close your eyes I'll be on my way
Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave alone
About the times, I won't have to say

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh baby, I hate to go

Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go

For all who have demanded... repeatedly to know my departure date, its confirmed... to a certain extent.
I'm going to Fudan University, China. Orientation starts on the 23rd of august. This means that i will leave before then.

Prior to that, i will be attending an international youth camp held in Russia. I will leave on the 4th of August and return on the 11th.

Yes. Its time. A chapter has closed. Its time to turn the page.


But remember... its still the same book. Its one that is prized and treasured. One that will be re-opened. Over and over again. Its in a new home now... just under your pillow. Even though you can't see it, be assured that it remains safe, snug and close to your thoughts.
