Didn’t Know

I didn’t know you
The day I died
Upon the landscape
Of our divide
I didn’t know
How hard you’d try
To circumvent
A kind “Goodbye”
I didn’t know
The pain I’d feel
As I lost track
Of what was real
I thought I knew you
‘Til I died
I didn’t know
You’d run and hide
When Love felt real
We made a pact
I promised you
The final act
You didn’t know
My words were true
When I swore
To not leave you
I didn’t know
How far I’d go
To keep my word
I loved you so
I didn’t know
That love could kill
When I first met you
On the hill
And found the dark pools
In your eyes
Before I knew
How I would die
Now in the sunshine
That sustains
I sometimes wonder
Was I sane?
I didn’t know
That I would die
And never hear
The word “Goodbye”
