Didn't I?

I loved you but was I wrong

I did, didn't I

I cared for you when you cried

When you were weak, unhappy

I lied for you and I gave up everything for you

and I loved you so much

I didn't complain

But then you disappeared

I didn't cry

I didn't sprinkle a single tear

And I don't know why

I did everything for you

When you left I felt a weight lifted

Like I was floating in the wind

In the white fluffy clouds

Were you that much of an obstacle

A problem

That I didn't even notice

That I didn't even see how much it was damaging me

You were all I had, all I have ever known

I said to myself "I couldn't exist without you"

But I could

I was breathing, I had not expired

I did not feel like I was sinking but swimming

laying on top and not slipping down

But I still ask myself as I move on in life

Did I really know you

Did I really need you

And the biggest question of all

Did I really love you?
