Always

I sit and try to write the words I want your heart to hear,
The room is sad and quiet now for you're not here, my dear.

I understand the implications of you leaving me, my head is whirled,
My body hurts and tears are flowing free.

I sit here and I wonder why?
What kind of cruel world would force me to say goodbye?

Why would the universe give you and then carelessly take you back?
What was the point?
I only had the chance to love you for a short time...and yet.

You made me see that I could love like I had never loved before,
That I could share this part of me, you knew you were adored.

I did not know I could feel that way, you reeled me in like easy prey.
And when you caught me, It was OK, for I knew that it was safe.

Safe to give my love to you for you could never hurt me.
Yet, you hurt me in the deepest way only you could have, desert me.

The day you slipped away from me,
The day I watched you go,
Was the day a tiny part of me slipped along with you into the unknown.
