Left

when i left
i took a piece of you with me
i thought my leaving would 
make me forget you
but i was wrong cause 
you were always on my mind

my leaving you did not
change anything because
i still did the same things
we used to do together
only you were not here
to do them with me

even when i was gone 
i would see you everyday 
in each step i took cause
our paths were entwined 
together and you were the 
reason i was living anyway
now am left wondering
why did i leave
