When I first saw you,
the sun lustrous on your
unkempt, obsidian hair
I thought we'd be perfect.
Why did you leave?
When I first saw you,
Your eyes so energetic and abyssal
they made me tremble
I thought I saw you grin.
Why did you leave?
When I first saw you,
I didn't think of what
we could have become
I thought of what we had been.
Why did you leave?
When I last saw you,
You looked so worn,
As if nothing mattered anymore
I thought it was the end, but it was only the beginning.
Why did you leave?
When I last saw you,
your eyes had lost their green sparkle
the world seemed to halt for a second
I thought of us.
Why did you leave?
When I last saw you,
I understood -
At least I pretended to.
I thought you'd see through this beautiful mess.
Why did you leave?
