The one I left behind

He’s gone now
But he was just here.
I feel so cold
So alone
Now that he’s gone
I still feel his arm
Around my neck.
Still feel his head
On my shoulder.
I remember his warmth.
I miss him.
I want him back.
The rest of the world
Doesn’t think he’s real.
He’s real to me,
The only thing that matters.
Right?
He was small and helpless,
I left him.
I want to go back
To find him
To tell him I’m sorry.
Nothing can make it alright.
Nothing can fix this.
What I did was wrong.
And I know it.
I’d give anything
To hold him again,
To see him one last time.
But I don’t deserve that,
I walked away.
It wasn’t my fault,
I had no choice
Didn’t I?
In the end,
What does it matter?
Now he’s alone,
And so am I.
