I didn't want to give up.
I didn't want to leave. 

I would have stayed waiting
with just one seed.

It would have been simple
to bring warmth to my heart.

But you were unable
to say "hello" and start.

You could not say
what we already knew.

No words were needed
and then we were through.

I didn't want to leave
but I could see

you were never coming,
and that marked me.

I didn't want to give up.
I didn't want to leave.

It's sad you never came,
it snuffed the flame out of me.
