You were the life I didn't know I was losing, The song that I had sung too long (But the song had outgrown me). I didn't know (I wouldn't know) That you were leaving... And then you were gone. Three years--almost four-- And I still cringe At all of my supposed mistakes-- The different takes on a single angle, Of which I was seemingly aware, and yet Forgetful of. I loved without knowing, And you knew without loving-- But there was nothing without losing, And all your words and silences, in collusion, Have led me here--remembering. There are days when I miss you, But that paining comfort is always followed By a wary echo of 'why'. I deserved better than you, But that doesn't mean that I didn't love you For who you were, I just can't forgive you For who you've been. |
