I Could Not Follow

You left and I could not follow

There was no note

No map of where you were

Just an empty life without you

I couldn’t throw rocks at your window

Couldn’t shout your name from the rooftops

Or take you in my arms

Just cry until the tears ran out

I’ve tried for years to relive the months you gave me

Faked passion where there was none

Lied to myself and too many others

Just to wake up missing you

I can’t keep doing this

Falling in love with your memory

Waiting for the one who left me

Just to hurt the ones who stayed

You left and I could not follow

I hated you for that

Because I love you more than life

And will until my death
