I know people come and go but I didn't want you to go.
I didn't want to say goodbye, to let you slip away.
I didn't want to watch you leave, to see you fade from view,
To try to smile and wave farewell when all I wanted was to hold you.
You were part of me, my heart and soul entwined with yours,
Our laughter echoing through the years, our tears shed side by side.
You were the one who knew my secrets, the one who saw me whole,
The one who made me feel at home, who gave me strength to face it all.
But now you're gone, and I'm alone, and nothing feels the same,
The sun seems colder, the stars less bright, the world devoid of aim.
I wake up every morning and I see your empty place,
Your side of the bed unmade, your smile absent from my face.
I try to fill the void you left, to find new friends and loves,
To join in conversations, to laugh and dance and sing,
But everything I do just reminds me of the past,
Of all the things we shared, of all the dreams we had.
I know that life goes on, that nothing stays the same,
That people come and go like waves upon the shore,
That love can turn to sorrow, and laughter to despair,
That even our best hopes can be shattered by a single blow.
But I didn't want you to go, and now I can't go back,
To all the times we laughed and cried, to all the moments we shared.
I didn't want to lose you, to see our story end,
To know that nothing lasts forever, not even love and friendship.
So now I'm left with memories, with echoes of the past,
With photographs and letters, with souvenirs and dreams.
I'm left to wonder what we could have been, if things had gone another way,
To question all our choices, to grieve the love we lost.
But even in my darkest hours, when pain and sorrow reign,
I know that you're still with me, that you live inside my heart,
That nothing can erase the love we had, the bond that we created,
That even in our separation, we're still connected by our fate.
So though I didn't want you to go, I know that you had to,
That life is full of trials, of paths we must pursue,
That even in our parting, we can find a way to heal,
To cherish all our memories, to celebrate what's real.
