Messy Memories

The Day After Since

The day I left
I wasn't ready
It was all so sudden
I felt unsteady

On uneven ground
There I was
Unable to talk
Nor make a sound

The day I left,
It appears that
I left things untied
Mistakes bare flat

I saw you cry
I saw you laugh
But I can't live without
My other half

° ° °

After I left
I was so unsure
On how to adjust
Or how to endure

The pain, met new faces
Turned a new leaf
It was all overpowering
All these new places

After I left
Saw you doing good
Getting out of your comfort zone
Makes me proud, as you should

I still can't believe
How we're both doing great
Apart, yet it scares me
Until then I'll wait

Since I left
It's been 4 years
I've got new friends
It so appears

Yet I'll never forget you
Don't you fret
What we had before
What we had been through

Since I left
Our lives will differ
From when we were younger
Our perspectives now bigger

Within my heart
From me to you
I don't say out loud, but

I love you
