Where were you?

I was there when she left

To keep you strong

To make you happy

I was there when you faltered

To keep you steady

To make you believe

I waited for you

When I was alone

When I was in pain

I waited for you

When I was troubled

When I was distressed

A long time passed before I realized

You were never there

And you never would be

It hurt to wish for you

I lost myself in the mist

For missing something that doesn’t exist
