Why did you have to leave me

I’ve never felt more alone

I know you told me not to follow

You told me to make a future

But how can I when you’re not there

When you’re not beside me through it all

You made your choice to leave

And told me I should stay

But why couldn’t I come with you

Why did you have to go alone

Because I can’t imagine life without you

So now I’ll follow where you’ve gone

You may have wished for me to stay

But these feelings are too strong

You loved me too much to ask me to join you

And I love you too much to not

So now I’m standing where you stood

About to make the plunge
