Special Days Ruined

Every special day seems to get ruined by something so small.
Where did the days go?
 When I could talk to you about anything and everything?
The days when we hugged and never wanted to let go?
The days when you said “I miss you so”.
Where did they go?

Why did they go away?
It seems they just crumbled, and blew away like leaves in the fall.
Nothing ever seems to stay.
 Always by your side, never said goodbye…

But you did.
You let off grasp of my hand…
I feel like my heart has been stepped on and played like sand.
I have been through it all.
None of your tricks are different; they have just caused me to fall.
But I stand back up again waiting for the next thing to come around,
So I wont get knocked down.
