Poem
Sometimes I sit here all alone and wonder what to do. I should be out somewhere instead of thinking about you. The choices that I make in life, I'll never understand;. It seems to me, my hopes and wishes never go as planned. I never planned to fall in love again, but here I go... Dreaming foolish dreams of you and me, and yet I know The end result will only be a heartache and goodbye, And someday soon I know that I will be the one to cry. You had a life, before you ever landed in this place. A stranger passing through here on your way to outer space. Somehow the fates convinced you this is where you need to be; A stepping stone to help you on your way to meeting me. Although I know your visit here is only temporary, The thought of never seeing you again is just so scary! I understand the reasons why you say you cannot stay, But I am hoping desperately that you will find a way. You've been here long enough to make me fall in love with you. Your gentle touch, your winning smile, the fun things that we do. I'll bet you leave a string of broken hearts from town to town. Like me, they all had hopes that you would finally settle down. We talked about all this before the feelings got so strong. You told me that you couldnt stay around for very long. For you had obligations in another time and place, And fate had other plans for you my love could not erase. I started my relationship with you with open eyes. Hoping against hope that my decision would be wise. I thought at first that it would be so simple to be friends, And told myself that I would not be grieving when it ends. Spending time with you has been a blessing and a curse. Loving you and knowing you can't stay; which one is worse? The void that you will leave in my life when you walk away Can never be filled up again; so why do I delay? I want to make this time with you as special as I can. Someday you might look back and think, "I was a lucky man". I hope you will remember and know how much you were loved. Each night in sleep, your face will be what I'll be dreaming of. I'm sure the day is coming and I fear that it is soon; You'll take off once again, on your journey past the moon. The stars will shine much brighter and the Milky Way will glow. They'll radiate with love I'm sending with you when you go. So when your journey's over and at last you make it home, If you should ever someday feel that urge again to roam, Just look up at the sky and you will surely see a sign, And know there is a place for you within this heart of mine.
