~{}~

you took the ferry  without me

and didn’t talk about returning

separation, an indifferent  sea

while my heart just kept  on yearning

I couldn’t be with you

and sunshine didn’t  comfort me

the way it used to do

as with you I longed to be

of course I knew that this was better

no future was there for our love

still I did hope for a letter

wishing you would care enough

I was  sixteen, you three times my age

yes I know this was insanity, outrage

but you showed me I could trust

and what love is without lust

thank you for leaving me behind

it was not mean to do, but kind
