Where did you go?

I should have known
Right from the start
That this would happen
You'd break my heart

I saw your face
You made me smile
I stopped to chat
A little while

After a time
A few times more
You gave me something
Worth writing for

I didn't even
Know your name
I wonder if
I ever shall

And over time
So little time
I found out more
Line by line

I caught a glimpse
Into your world
Your hopes and fears
And dreams you hold

The future lay
Within our grasp
A flight of fancy
Was all I asked

Then all at once
It seemed to end
A romance quashed
Not even friends

You went away
Without a word
Flew from the nest
Free as a bird

And here I am
Back where it started
A lonely soul
Broken-hearted

Why did you leave?
Where did you go?
Where are you now?
I'd love to know
