Lonely Night

There are some nights
like tonight
where the loneliness
is so strong
I wish you hadn't gone

How does a heart cope?
You vanished.
How can I come to terms
with losing
My closest friend in a moment

You were all I loved, wanted
You disappeared
I shared my heart and soul with you
Was it nothing?
I fell for you, but was left in tears

I thought I hurt or frightened you,
sent you running away
What have I done? No, now I realize...
I had it all wrong
It was never me - it was you all along.
