I have always wondered where you went,
Pondered what drove you so far away,
You left and no trace of you could be found,
Vanished like steam when it dissipates.

Your love was superb and new to me,
Not something that I ever thought I’d lose,
Though lose is the wrong word in my mind,
How can you lose something you never had?

Only you knew the secrets that I kept,
I guess they aren’t secret any more,
Your parting gift to me was a simple plan,
To spread the whisper, then turn it to a shout.

I loved you a short while,
But you were like a balloon,
Destined to be let go,
And return to the wind.
