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”
