Did it Happen?


You threw me away

but did I waste away? 

like your body as it grows older and older 

I lived, I ran, I soared

You threw me away 

but did I waste away? 

I cried, but never mourned 

I was anger, but I wasn't violent

I was meloncholy, but I got happy

You threw me away 

but did I waste away?

I never got depressed 

I never fell in a downward spiral 

I simply moved on

You threw me away 

but did I waste away?
