For You

Do you ever come here? Do you ever stop by? Will I catch you reading the words I wrote to "that special guy"? You were him Even before there was a possibility Crush flame smoldered And two years later we became "we" But it was a tease You wouldn't last I should have known the keeper I caught Wouldn't be my final cast They had no idea "Other fish", they said The love I had held for you for so long Still is not dead Reaching out through the darkness Words left unspoken I wondered if you would open up But the bond is clearly broken I wonder if you meant for this To happen just this way You led me on it seems And yet I'm more than happy to stay Caught up in the what-ifs My heart in pain for you I read your struggles in your voice And wonder if you hear mine, too
