You left

There was a time I was hurting

I'd never know love I was sure

But when I wasn’t looking

I opened my eyes and there you were

I never had believed

that the day would come

when I would feel such love

I was important to someone

That was the day I cherished

because I had finally found

the one I'd always love

and build my life around.

But I was unaware

that our time would finally end

that I would lose the man I love

and in that, lose my best friend.

I cried a thousand tears

I prayed you wouldn't go

but your feelings for me weren't as deep

but how was I to know

I softly spoke your name

closed my eyes and took a breath

but when I looked again

I saw that you had left.
