Tears roll down my cheek

I look up
as a tear rolls slowly
down my cheek
I think about better days
and wonder if I'll feel that way again
you talk to me
with voice I know so well
always serious, so deep and insightful
as though you're always in control or always right
But not today
not now
Now you sound so scared
like for once you don't have the answer
I pay complete attention to you
thinking of looking deep into those big eyes
Hoping to understand
why you've said those things you did
I wonder for a moment
if this is all a dream
if I shall wake in the morning
and be relieved
I wish I could hear the truth but
The truth is you’re just not the one.
The one I thought you were
and as I wipe the tears from my cheek
I lay myself down to sleep
Still hoping, hoping that this is just a dream
