Gone Forever

You walked out the door
without a backward glance
she watched you walk away
and hoped you would return

She waited for you
but you never came again
you were gone forever
snatched by the hand of time

She searched for you everywhere
for days that turned to weeks
months have come and gone
that soon had turned to years

You left with out a trace
forever lost to fate
all that's left is a memory
of your once happy life

How cruel life was
for taking you away from her
without giving her enough time
to even say goodbye

One last embrace 
and one last kiss
that's all she remembers
on that fateful day you left
