Once You Were
I am standing here
Only two feet from you
When did you become
Such an expert at this
And you don’t see me
From behind your wall

But I am empty
Because you’re gone
And I’m still waiting
Patiently

But I don’t know for how long

I hope you are happy
I hope you see success
Because you live fully
And I am stronger
Because of you
And I’ll try harder
To move on, too
I’ve still forgiven
Redundantly
I’ve still forgiven
But I will never forget
I am standing here
Only two feet from you
When did you become
Such an expert…
