promise

You promised me we would grow old together

But you never labeled it how

Did you mean as in grow old as friends?

As lovers?

Or strangers with just a memory of each other?

I see you sitting under the tree

Oh how you looked breathtaking

You're my favorite view

Anywhere I go I try and look for you

But then he came

He came and sat beside you

Your smile glowing under the shadows of the tree I saw it

Why can't you smile like then when you see me?

The way you dropped everything when he came

Have you ever did that to me?

I heard the bell ringing but you never stood up

You stayed with him under the tree

I stood up

Hoping you would see me

But never once you looked at me

And so I left
