The Day I Left You

You stood there
with your eyes empty,
ready to cry any moment.
You stood there,
shaking uncontrollably.

"I wanted you to stay,"
you said to me.
"You were always perfect
to me,"
you said to me.
But you weren't to me.

I always wanted
to get away from you,
because I wasn't the right one
for you.
But I couldn't because
I was afraid to break you;
to break your heart.

I'm sorry for not telling you
for all these days, weeks, months, years
I spent with you.
I don't expect you to forgive me.
Good bye, my love.
