One day

One day
You'll miss the way he looked at you
When he walks ahead, turns back
And ask,
"Aren't you coming?"

You smiled and took his hand,
Inside you knew
"He would never let go."

For a while you insisted.

Smiles and laughter,
Shouts and cries;
You took what was less of him,
You took all of it.

And in that moment
He was all of you.

He went,
After a while
Somewhere between those cries
You cannot remember.

The wound in you
Heals but in time
Tearing all that's left of you.

It was that moment
You realized,

You lost yourself.
