    One day you were here, then you weren't. I don't know what happened, and I don't know how you slipped. I don't know what I did wrong. Did I not hold you tight enough in my grasp? Did karma find it's way back to me? I don't understand. You meant so much to me, so why didn't I fight harder? You meant so much to me, so why didn't I care harder? You meant so much to me, so why didn't I tell you?

   You got away, and that hurts. But what hurts more is that you don't know that you got away. You never knew how much you meant to me. You never knew how I would smile just thinking about you. And you never knew me like I wanted to know you.

   Just when I felt it was right. Just when I felt that you deserved to know, you slipped away because I was never holding onto you in the first place. I don't know why I was so stupid to let you be the one that got away.
