Expectations

I remember the first night
You stayed in my arms.

You teased about being
A midnight disappearing act.
"I've done it before,
More times than not."

And panic flashed on my face
But you laughed, pulled me in,
Whispered loud enough to quiet me,
"Don't worry,
For you I'll stay."

My cheeks flushed bright pink
As I turned my head from you.
Cause I thought maybe you meant it.

Now here I am, falling.
You were by my side in the beginning
But, oh darling, where are you now?
