The people I call friends, left.

I don't know where they'd gone to

Or when they will come back

I just know they left me

In this dark, four-cornered room

Hating myself

For not being good enough.

You were there
In the closest vicinity
You were there
Looking only at me

You were there
Holding my hand tightly
You were there
Stroking my hair lightly

You were there
Loving me all the while
You were there
Always making me smile

You were there
Giving me hugs and kisses
You were there
When I'd think of burning bridges

You were there
Being witty and smart
You were there
Giving me all your heart

You were there
Declaring our love was true
You were there
Saying "I love you"

You were there
Wiping my tears away
You were there
Every single day

You were there
With your perfect gentlemanly visage
You were there
It was only just a mirage.
