Passerby

Passerby 

As he passes by each day.. 
I keep hoping to see,
The guy he once was,
Before he became a mystery,
to me..

As he passes by each day... 
I keep hoping to see,
Through those guarded eyes,
The things he hold, he kept,
from me..

As he passes by each day... 
I keep hoping to see,
The love he struggled to have,
With this insensitive girl,
With me..

As he passes by each day.. 
I keep hoping to see,
The same thing, the same him,
"Why wasn't I able to see?"
"It has always been me.."

As he passes by each day.. 
I keep hoping to see,
Everything, all of him,
Of how and what it used to be,
"Who are you? Where is he?"

But as he passed by one day,
I quit hoping and struggled to move on.
'Coz it was then that i saw in his naked eyes,
His unspoken words, his final answer..
A hushed and painful oblivion..
"He's totally gone.."
