"do I Ever Cross Your Mind?"
“Do I Ever Cross Your Mind?”
In my mind, I just can’t
Seem to leave you behind.
When we parted ways,
To me you weren’t kind.
Constantly your comments
About me were snide.
We were best friends,
Seeing each other
For 18 years,
In you I thought I
Could always rely.
Even if you fell in
Love with another;
In me, you could still confide.
In work, in play, in love
And in just about everything,
My trust in others is
Now contrived.
That I’m still
In love with you,
Is the central point
That I constantly
Try to hide.
For so many years
Our life was so complete,
Filled with the sweetest memories.
If you tell me you don’t recall,
I’d know it was just a lie.
Forever
To one another
We’ll always be tied.
I see your eyes gaze at me
When you see me
All others can see
The fire that’s still alive.
I bet each night we
Dream of each other
When we close our eyes.
Do I ever cross your mind
When you think of
The Life You
Left behind?
