Without Saying Goodbye

Now I'm left sitting alone looking up at the stars
All the memories I thought I helpd close are now really far.

I can't believe you left in secret, leaving no trace behind
Disappearing into thin air without saying goodbye.

You said you were tired and wanted to leave your pain in your past
No matter how happy you think you are, the smile you pasted on your face won't last.

But as your friend, I'll respect the choice you made
As long as it really brings you joy while we suffer in pain.

I don't think you can hear me or even sense me calling
But know that I'll always be here to catch you when you start falling.

If you had let me know, I could have stayed by your side
But it hurts me to know that not even to me did you say goodbye.
