Alone Again

You look at me now
I never cried
because you never
gave me any reason to
not because you've always
been good to me
but because
you just simply
weren't around
to make me shed a tear.

You ask me now
I never told you the entire truth
not because I lied
but because whenever
you asked me something
I just never had enough time
to tell you everything
before you had to
leave in a hurry again.

You hold me now
but I'm no longer
the person you once said
"I love you" to
not because I've changed
but because I simply
just died before your eyes
could witness,
because you were always
somewhere else without me.

And now you tell me
if you are not too late now
when everything ended long ago,
when you had the time
to grasp it close.
