You expect them to always be there

You take for granted that when you need them they will come running

You thought that when they left they would always return

Then one day they don't

They leave and they don't come back

You hope and you pray but it is not enough

They are gone

They left and you never said anything

Never told them how much that you need them

Or how much it helps when they listen

How much you care

But now it's too late

They won't return

And there is nothing that you can do about it
