The Sparkle In Your Eyes

You walk away, and I see you smile.
Your beautiful eyes are glowing with satisfaction,
of knowing that your finally free,
free from being tied down with me.
I stand there and watch you walk away,
thinking, contemplating life without you,
and how things are going to change.
Your going to be without me,
to tell you how to look, tell you how to dress, how you do your hair and how to act.

The way I did things was, oh so wrong,
I have no reason or excuse to why I was like that,
I guess I just wanted you to be perfect,
never realizing you were so already.

The love you taught me to know, made me feel complete,
it made me feel real.
I now know that how I acted was no where near what it should have been,
hot, cold, never in between,
you deserved more, you always will.
But I know that I loved you, and you felt the same..
Though we were so young, we were never really ready for all that.

The day it ended. I just stood there and watched you leave,
there was no smile on your face, your beautiful eyes didn't glow.
I sat down and felt tears in my eyes, I sat there and cried,
hearing your car start up and leave,
knowing that I'm never going to see the sparkle in your eyes,
and the smile that lit up your face when you looked at me.
That I'm never again going to feel your strong arms around me, making me feel secure while I slept.
And I know that, the sparkle in my eyes disappeared,
the day I stood there and watched you leave..
