From when you would sleep there
When you needed a place to stay

The refrigerator still has your junk in it
It’s moldy now
And stinks really bad

Your jacket is still in my closet
Exactly where you left it
Gathering dust

I couldn’t bare to change a thing
Every imperfection I thought I hated
Is everything I miss

The way my rug would have mud tracks
How you always left the seat up
The way you would always be late

Or the way you called
At three in the morning
Just to say hi

Why did you have to leave me behind
Why did I not follow you
Why have you left me here while you go to a better place

Why Did You Leave?

Why have you left me here while you go to a better place

I always found it funny, that when the one you love isnt there anymore you still miss their imperfection.

this poem really touched me
