THE NIGHT YOU DISAPPEARED

I remember clearly the times we just hung out over coffee or a drink...

The hours passed quickly but we didn't care...

You were very beautiful and you knew it too...

Men didn't hear your voice over the language your body spoke...

You never thought about anything bad ever happening to you...

My warnings you laughed away as you took another swig of your beer...

Only love was on your mind...

I remember you said you met someone and you wanted to have him come to my place, you'd already be there and he could meet me...

We were all sitting around the table, you pulled me aside and asked well, what do you think of him?

You knew from the look on my face and you got angry with me...

You thought I was jealous...

Are you kidding me?

You both got up and left pretty quickly...

Hours passed as I slept on the couch waiting for your knock on the door or my phone to ring...

Four O'Clock in the morning a pounding on my door...

Your face was bruised and wet from your tears...

You were right you said...

The was the night you disappeared, it was still your face, but a stranger took your heart, ripped it apart, and I said, I'm still not jealous, but I really do miss my friend...

Hugs...
