A Gentle Heartbreak

You were running away
Until you found me
I gladly gave you a shelter

I showed you into my little world
Where you could be safe
Even if it was for only a little while

They came too soon
And wanted to take you away
My heart tore apart at the mere thought of you being gone

You made me feel so alive
Until you were gone
And then I found out

I wasn't the only one
It was stupid of me to think I was
My heart broke so slowly, so gently

I almost didn't notice
