Not the Same Person

You're not the person
I thought you were
Taken for granted
You went off to change
Some people didn't notice
Some still don't know
Others just don't care
The man I knew
Used to open the door for me
Name the stars after me
Thought of no one else but me
This new person I know
I wish I never met
Times I used to smile
I wish I could forget
That man I know
Made me cry last night
Let the door close on my face
Shut me in the dark
Left me alone
Sometimes I know we should forgive
Even if we don't forget,
I tried to love you...
But I can't speak to you anymore
You aren't who I thought you were
You're not the person I knew
You stole my guardian angel
And left me alone to cry
In this barren land where the only rain was my tears
But now you've returned
And it doesn't feel the same...

Sometmes, the people who leave us hurt us, but the ones who come back hurt us the most. It is hard to pine for someone who no longer exists, to mourn the death of somebody who you're not sure is fully gone, because there are no heart monitors to signify when the beat stops, nor visible signs to signify when that part of them has grown and gone. They call it growing up, and maybe it is. Doesn't change that you wish it never would happen. Great job, Delaney.
