I used to think you lied when you said,

"Whenever you're happy, I'll be there.
And whenever you're sad, I'll be there.
Whenever you're lonely, I'll be there.
And even when you want to be alone, I'll be there.
I'll never leave you."

I realize now, that even when you left me, you never actually left me.
You were there, every morning as I woke up.
And every night before I slept, you were there, on my mind.
Even in my dreams, you were right there.
You lingered and lingered and you're still here.
It took me a while, but now I know the lies you told were true.
