one day i woke up in our bed
and you had left me all alone
i guess i wasn't surprised
to find that you had gone
i thought what we had would be
always and forever
but i guess i was wrong,
wasn't i?
i wanted it to be forever
but i guess it wasn't to be
call it fate call it destiny
all i know is that you're gone
i couldn't cry, i couldn't yell
all i knew was that you were gone
i couldn't sleep, i couldn't eat
all i could do was think of you
did you even say goodbye
or look longingly at me
did you even think about me
when you went out that screen door
i guess i always knew that
one day you would leave
but did it have to be
so very soon?
it was good while it lasted
wasn't it? but you didn't
give me a chance to tell you
did you even think to let me
you packed up your blue suitcase
and took your red toyota
but you also took part of me
when you left that early day
when did you make up your mind
to leave that rainy day
was it a spur of the moment thing
that made you leave me that day
it was rainy that very day
and cooler than yesterday
but did i really notice anything
besides that you were gone
i hope tomorrow will be better
i know in my heart it will
and i know that what we had
means something to us both
but i also know that what we had
is but a memory i wish you best
of luck all i ask is for you
to remember me as i do you
