Like the sun's rising,
I just assumed that you
would always be there.
Three states and 1000 miles
separate me from you
your laughter
your quirky ways...

I remember how
we could be in the same room
never speaking and yet
know exactly what the other
was thinking...
It would be THAT look
and then we would explode
into laughter from the sheer
amusement of it all...

I want to go back...
back to the moment we said goodbye
and hold on to it, eternally
hold on to you
didn't you see the "save me"
in my eyes, the pleading
in my voice as I said goodbye?

why did I let him take me from you?
