Sealed with a Kiss

I think I'm going to change the song title to Retreat.

The genre I would imagine this to be would be indie/folk... something similar to Ingrid Michaelson or the Avett Brothers.

Retreat

V1

This goodbye feels unfamiliar
A sense of early defeat
This silence begs the question
Will you miss me?

V2

Cast aside self righteous intentions
I crave a dose of honesty
The wall you've put up may push me away
But, I fear I won't go quietly

Chorus

So... here's to hoping you'll trust me with your heart
Here's to unanswered questions
Here's to praying we won't fall apart
Sealed with a kiss

V3

The truth of the matter: I find this exhausting
What good can stubborn distance bring?
Sadness has settled behind your brown eyes
Let's brighten them together

V4

I'm not the type to place a bet
Fate has yet to earn my trust
But I would bet on you, my darling
I would bet on us

Chorus

So... here's to hoping you'll trust me with your heart
Here's to unanswered questions
Here's to praying we won't fall apart
Sealed with a kiss

Outro

Less of a warning and more of a plea
This is my final farewell before my final retreat

Yeah! Definitely "something worth pursuing"! I can't quite peg a style (genre) or cadence for this, but if you know where it's going musically, that's what counts. You've got ability with words and shaping verses. Go for it!

Thank you! I was hoping it would be in the indie/folk genre... something along the lines of Ingrid Michaelson or Avett Brothers. Haven't fully decided yet. Anyway, thanks for your feedback
