You cup your hands around my cheek
And say, just what I need.
‘I love you and I’m sorry’,
You said you’d never leave.
But then you’d say we’re wrong for each other,
That you are just not worthy.
So I try and try to make you see,
But you leave, like you’re in a hurry.
Days go by, and you seem to forget
Your face, I just can’t read.
Sad hours seem long, even with comfort,
But it’s you that I really need.
You gave me love and made my cry,
With laughter most of the time.
But when I found out your bitter secret,
It was so cruel, it was a crime.
You kept me away when you needed me most,
Said you wanted to protect me.
But now I feel like I have failed you,
My mind won’t let it be.
You wanted to me to remember happy memories,
So you didn’t even let me say goodbye.
You kept me in the darkness like a fool,
And left me alone to cry.
3 months later I get a call,
A weeping mother is all I hear.
In confusion and worry I ask “what’s wrong?”
She whimpers, “We’ve lost someone dear”
The phone crashes to the ground,
Like my demolished heart.
A tear rolls down my cheek and I,
Can’t think of our lives apart.
Memories of us flash through my mind,
Just to remember that’s all they’ll ever be.
You and me against the world,
A dream I’ll never see.
So I now sit and stare at a stone,
Beneathe is where you are meant to be.
But deep inside I know where you are,
You’ll always remain within me.
