When we were young,
It was all fun and games,
Innocence at its finest,
Purity all around.
The leaves fall,
I watch them all,
Dancing to the ground,
As everything changes,
All around me.
One fell down,
On top of my head,
I keep it as my own,
keeping it beside my bed.
I shouldn't dare keep it,
But I couldn't resist,
You were one that I knew,
Was different from the rest.
Nobody wanted to believe me,
When I said you weren't like the others,
All that they could see,
Was darkness inside of you.
I saw light within,
Your darkly colored body,
Even if you couldn't see,
What I saw what I did in you.
Over the years,
While we had our fun,
We had to grow up,
Take responsibilities,
And become who we need to be.
I became the one,
To raise the morning light,
While you turn it into moonlight,
But this was not what you wanted.
Instead you decided,
To take the daylight away,
For your own little game,
Creating darkness wherever you go.
I trusted you,
Yet you tore it apart,
Like if it meant nothing to you,
As you fly away in the wind.
I watch you float,
Above the other leaves,
There was nothing I could do,
As I watched you leave.
I began to wonder,
Where I went wrong,
In trying to show,
You were unique,
From the rest of the green leaves.
I knew you were good,
So I need to know how and why,
This was the route,
You had to take.
That I may never know,
But now I miss,
All the times we had together,
In a world like this.
If only I could've been there,
Been able to turn back time,
I would've known,
How to help and prevent,
What you became now.
But it was time,
To let it all go,
Dance gracefully in the wind,
As there's nothing I can do now,
It's already been done.
I still can't help but wonder,
If I did anything wrong,
For this to happen.
I close my eyes and lay back,
As the breeze became cold.
All that we love can change for the worst, huh?
