I closed my eyes,
Bowed my head,
Felt how thoroughly it was over.
I couldn't breathe a sigh of relief,
For I did not know what was in store,
All I felt was emptiness in my chest.
I turned away as people asked,
Ashamed that it had ended,
I missed everything I was at that time,
Because everything about me changed.
My heart was torn to pieces,
But my eyes were finally open,
I looked around at what remained,
And there is where I found you.
You had been there all along,
Off to the side,
Secretely knowing how we felt,
But unable to speak the truth.
