Just Not Meant To Be

You said you didn’t want me And I said I didn’t care But my caring is what pushed me To do what I’d never normally dare Both sorry yet relieved, you tell me more of you I know it’s not meant to be, for you never had a clue. But sometimes I wonder, if the timing was just not right And that when it is, perhaps you’d see the light Only for it to be too late, How I pray I wasn’t rushing fate... Now to what you do, I’ll turn a blind eye I am tired of my heart tricking my mind… No. The real man of steel is just a bit slow on the wheel He's driving this way, I'll meet him, someday He’ll come to me when I least suspect His love will grow from deep friendship and respect He’ll know I’m her, before I can know That something about me makes his eyes glow. I’ll be on his mind, and he’ll let me know that No heartaches, no pain, his feelings will be out flat Then! I’ll laugh and wonder what I saw in you And realize we were never right, like water and glue I wish you no harm, I regret causing you alarm I pray you find what you’re looking for As for me, my heart has been mended by my Lord. -A.S.
