You slipped away leaving me stranded in the windy cold; lonesome, feeling not a smidge of warmth. I waited for you, and waited... thinking you'd return Oh, you did know? Then why didn't you come back? You left me beneath the moon we used to dream under taking all the stars in the midnight sky with you... and you won't even tell me why? You gave me not so much as... an intimation! I implore you, please... tell me why!
