Why Did You Leave Me

Her laughter Her smile The way she spoke with passion when she was talking about something she loved How she hugged you when you felt sorrowful It would've never crossed your mind… and it never did You wished she told you sooner… but you would've never believed her But now that she is gone you start thinking. Every tear Every breakdown Every night in her bedroom crying herself to sleep… And you weren't there for her After everything she has done for you what did you give back? Nothing. Its your job to keep these things from happening but you didn’t have the slightest clue. She didn’t want you to know… Her laughter made you feel comfortable Her smile made you feel happy The way she spoke made you feel like the only person in the world And her genuine hugs made you feel confident But now she's gone and you have no one left Its graduation day ... exactly 2 years and 3 months from the day it happened They are calling out names for people to come up All i can think about is what they are going to say when your name comes up F's,G's,H... They called out your name acting as if you were still here Did they forget? Does no one care anymore? Was I the only that still thinks about you everyday? I was. Everyone forgot. No one cared. I would've said something but I didn't have that confidence anymore You were my rock My best friend My only friend But you left me... Why did you leave me?
