Problem was
I had not known
Even then
When I was suppose to

I didn’t read
Those emotions
Plastered through
Your fragile face
I had not known
The time
You had chosen
To break down
To give up
To leave it all behind
You’re just gone
Suddenly

People have taken you
For granted
As I won’t deny
How I’m one of them

Some things
People can’t plan
It just happens
You once told me
Maybe this
Just another circumstance
That proves
Everything
You once told me

I miss you
Don’t know much
Of how to express feelings
Emotion
Such complicated things
I don’t understand
All I really know
Is how
I miss you now
