You, Once

I feel a sadness I cannot explain
You were there once, alone, oh so alone
That same sorrow now has become my pain
Your pale midnight tears have become my own
Life changed for you when you left for awhile
Someone became what you needed to hold
And I, a stop before reaching her smile
Will be forgotten and left to grow old
Fear rises again and you search for me?
I'm always there --where you left me before
Hoping and waiting for you to believe
I'll stay with you if you open the door
Do you not remember feeling this way?
You should have felt it in my voice today
