From Joy Comes Pain
As I sit here writting
all my joys and pains come to mind.
Trying to focus on one
when another one distracts me.
A joy I remember that brought such pain.
The though of of me and you.
The joy being seeing you every day
and hearing what youd have to say.
Or pointless conversations
that in the end meant so much.
The pain being that I soon fell in love with you
but later realized
I couldnt have you.
Realizing that you could never love me
as you loved her.
Realizing you could never look at me
like you looked at her.
But hopefully by now
when you look into my eyes
you'll see my joy.
But look deeper
and find my pain
and realize this was a memory
that could never be the same
