When you left, you left
Like a majestic bird
Gracefully and peacefully you soared away until you were but a mark on the horizon
Do you remember?
I'd wake up screaming
But your departure was much more than a simple night terror
It was the worst dream come true
Do you remember?
Nothing and no one could comfort me
The only thing I wanted was the only I couldn't have
I'd cry and hope for that bird to swoop back around and take perch on my shoulder
But I knew my phoenix wouldn't take shape again
Do you remember?
