Part of me
Wants to hate you
For leaving the way
That you did.
You walked away
Without saying goodbye
Shutting me out
Forever.
I'm still not sure
Why you did it.
Guess I will
Never really know
Since even now
You won't speak
When you know
I am there.
I suppose part of me
Does hate you
For breaking my heart
That day.
Too bad I love you more
Even as I wait now,
Hoping you will speak.
