And the World Forgot About Me One More Time

I saw you in a magazine today Half a smile, miles away And though I know you're busy doing all the things you wanna do I keep thinking about you Driving through town In the morning Looking at the faces in the lonely crowds I think you must have seen my mail by now I guess you don't care about me anymore Too much time has passed in your mind You pretend, I fake a smile We're only talking once in a while I sit on a park bench Looking for you But it's all in vain, asking all those people with my broken French Tell me this isn't true Coffee shop at midnight One last stop before I'm home Headlights on I'm hoping you'd make it this time My key opens the door You're not there, you're not mine I fall to the floor And the world forgot about me one more time

I love the poem. I don't like the ending. Are you saying that he is your world? :-)

If it is meant to be, it will be. I believe we each control our destiny and there is no such thing as fate. I write about it, but I don't believe in it. Enjoyed the honesty in this write, Julie.
