I remember the night I realized you changed
We were sitting on your bed together
As close as two people could possibly be
The comfort we had grown to know
was tainted by a strange unfamiliarity
that I did not understand
I turned to you
We were so close it was all just blurry lines
face to face I stared into your eyes
a deep brown comfort I had grown to know
had somehow changed
No longer bright at the sight to see me
The love I once saw had vanished
Darling, I could see the pain in your eyes
You knew how close the end was
though you tried to hide it
I could see the overwhelming dreams escaping your stare
The desperate longing for something more
I then realized the uselessness in trying to keep you here
You sensed my painful epiphany
and pulled me close
holding me in you arms
Suddenly I felt an unbearable pain
with a sinking stomach,
I realized that I was here in your arms
but we were already oceans apart
Your thoughts were miles away
and I could not reach you
I finally understood nothing could make you stay
You had already left
