A Tear

As I sit here tonight and look upon the stars
on this cold October night,
Thoughts of him enter my mind.

I think of all the times we've spent together.
He knew everything about me,
yet I knew very little.
A tear rolls down my cheek.

He knew how to touch me
and the things to say,
Yet I did not.

I had waited so long
And it was worth everyday.
He did everything he could to help me
Yet I did not.
A tear rolls my cheek.

I will never forget those nights
how he made me crazy.
I knew he was leaving
and I did everything possible to avoid it,
yet the fact wouldn't leave my mind.
He acted as if it weren't true.
Yet we both knew.

A tear rolls down my cheek
