he



Tears rolled down my cheeks
In a world so big
I was alone
Until he found my hand
And I knew it was okay to feel this way
I wish I knew it would only be for that day

We became close, he and I
Days spent alone
Talking to the sky
By then he had my heart
My soul in his clutch
He had taken too much

The days became darker
Tears stopped rolling down my cheeks
I knew I would finally be free
I said my words and talked to the sky
I knew it was time
Goodbye.
