What happened to the moments when
You and I could just sit still for a while?
Where did all the times go
When we could share a glance and smile?

Since when did you force me into the quiet
With all your stories, no questions asked?
Since when was my voice so hard to hear
That you don't listen when I share back?

Why are you growing so far away?
I just want to understand,
Where are you going and why leave?
Why has all we had become shifting sand?

Don't leave me here all by myself,
Please don't go away from me!
I don't want to be left here all alone
Where it's getting dark and I can't breathe.

What happened to all the days when
You would text me first just to say hello?
What happened to all those times when
We didn't have to plan, 'cause we'd both know?

How can I sit next to you and
Not even feel that you are near?
How can I be talking to you
Hear your laugh, and yet the silence is so clear?

Don't go away from me, not now
Not when I've been feeling so afraid.
Don't leave me alone, please not here,
Not while I'm scrambling just to remain.

Tell me how you've gone so silent over there.
Tell me why you're so close on the surface;
Say to me that no matter what you care.
Remind me that everything has a purpose...
