I lost you.
You moved away and your number changed.
I smile and remember,
you weren’t much of a caller anyway.
I said I had moved on.
That I wasn’t going to wait for you.
But I realise, it’s all I really do.
I wait for you to live and grow up
And be the man I know you will be.
I guess I have to say goodbye now Tommy.
For me, it’s the end of a dream.
The falling of hope.
I wake without you but not alone.
With a secret I tell no one.
You’ll always be the love that torments me.
You’ll be my secret mourning.
Let me just say,
the shadows never looked so becoming.
I’ll hold your memory near me
as a love lost, cherish it at any cost.
Your name written on my skin
in a language only I can comprehend
Like my tragic secret within,
for a love that was never meant to happen.
