Loved but Alone

how come the only person i was ever able to love was you.
how come when i was completely dependent on your love,
you had to go away.
and leave me here, to be alone.
cold, afraid, lonely, bleeding, and gasping for air.
how come you made me love you so much?
but you're gone from this world now.
and i know i'll never get to hold your hand again.
but always know....
that i'm waiting for you here,
loved, but alone.
