I left the water running.

I could tell you but you’re not here.

My failure was yours too, with nobody to share, like you my dear.

I left the water running.

You knew my dad jokes and loved the quirks.

My annoying imperfections you considered your perks.

I left the water running.

I cried at the movie you handled it smoothly.

I left the water running.

The rain will come to fill the rain tank again.

But you, the leader of my tribe will not, to my chagrin.

I left the water running and the tank is now dry, 

don't look now you might see me cry
