I cannot name an untarnished memory Nor can I recite to you with an amiable fondness All that you have introduced to me Which I know can never be forgotten Or ignored
Every time I’ve cried For each childish, humdrum tear You have sat upon my eyelids in wait And braced yourself upon my lips To catch them as they fall
My make-believe hero My sunlight
As for leaving, Love knows not of the word But only of emptiness For you can never truly leave someone Who hasn’t let you go
What a sad thing it is
I am still here And I’ve loved you every moment of it
