I believed that we were
So in love
Because you made me feel so sure

BUT

You started slipping away
and I
couldn’t do anything
But cry.

THEN
YOU
LEFT

What had happened?
I thought we
Would never end.

All alone,
I couldn’t breathe.
because
I wasn’t ready
To see you leave

I love the way you wrote this. You went for the bold and simplistic method. Relatable, clear, and just wonderful. Good work.
