I saw you check your watch
I saw you keeping time
You turned around to find me
But...

I saw your eyes sparkle
I saw that special gleam
You turned so I'd notice
But...

I heard you laugh out loud
I heard you softly smile
You turned for me to join in
But...

I heard your aching sobs
I heard that mournful cry
You turned to me for comfort
But...

You forgot that you'd left me
Told me to lose my way
You said I should be a never was
And I should cease to be

You lost the best part
Of what made you you
Then you took
That part of my heart
To try to make you you again
And in that fraction
Between now and then
You ended up losing
Your dearest friend
