You Never Left

They said I was different
I kept to myself
Never talked anymore
When normally
I would never shut my mouth

At night I’d cry
Never call my friends back on the phone
Because the one person I wanted to call
Never did

He left for no reason
Just walked away and that was that
Expected me to get over it
As quickly as he did
And forget everything

Days turned to weeks
Then to months
I almost expected them
To turn to years

But then you came
And people said I was different
But not in a bad way this time
And I was happy

You helped me remember
How to smile
How to laugh
How to have fun
And you never left
