I Carry Your Heart With Me

I knew when I opened my eyes, That last night was my last night here. I felt it in my soul, as I lay there, Listening to the breathing next to me. I cried in bed knowing this would be hard, But when is love an easy thing? I mustered just enough energy, To get my things and leave. Though I was crying on the inside, I couldn’t answer why I was leaving. I couldn’t even say goodbye, I could only walk away. And If I can’t have his heart, Then no one can... _________________________________ For Nathan's, 'The Opposite Sex' Contest
