Just Life

I want you back

We were once so close

But now, so far away.

You left me.

You left me without a word

or a sign

or a look

or even a sigh.

You just got up

and tried to walk right out of my life.

My first reaction was

"Heck with you!"

I acted like I didn't care

but honestly,

this is me being true to myself now,

it hurts.

I see you in the hallway,

I see you outside

and it hurts that I can't say 'hi'

it hurst that we can't smile at each other

and it hurts that I can't get a hug from you.

I wonder how far whatever you have

in your heart against me is.

Like, if I'm hurt, nervous or crying

will you just walk past me?

I don't know what I did to you.

I don't know what anyone told you,

but this I know,

one day, I am going to get up on a stage

on a day we both perform and as I sing, look you straight in the eye

and let you see how I feel

and ask,

"Why did you leave me?"
