I Didn't Know



You were here but now you're gone
and now I sit here all alone.
I do not know to where you went
You didn't even leave a hint.

I didn't know, I had had no clue
you'd walk and leave in the morning due.
I didn't know I was losing you
so, what am I suppose to do.

Maybe you will turn around from where you
thought that you were bound.
But now I'll sit not make a sound
I did not know you'd let me down.

My heart will burn from the loss
I did not know that you would cross.
