Has It Been Poem by Ray Hansell

Has it been as hard for you
As it has been for me?
Do you ever question
Just why we couldn't be?

Do you fully understand
Exactly what took place?
Do you know that when you left
You took the smile from my face?

I don't do well on lonely nights
I miss you more then you know
I still lay awake at night
Wondering why you had to go

Did he treat you much better
Then the way I treated you?
Does he do all the things
That I would always do?

I stayed with you when you were sick
I never left your side
I would hold you close to me
On the nights when all you did was cry

Has it been as hard for you
As it has been for me?
I wonder what it was
That I couldn't see

Could I not see that you were changing
Like the weather in the sky
Maybe if I had
We never would have said goodbye
