I Always Thought

I tried, I truly tried
I reached out hoping
Sat back wishing
Checked the screen over and over
Still nothing to be found, nothing 
Not a word, no hello
Not even a "Go to hell"
I thought we were more
Years pass and I still can't shake it
That feeling of everything
Everything I have ever wanted

Was I too pushy, not pushy enough
Could I have been more...less
Those days remain,
The feelings ever strong
The days linger and the nights drain me
As here I sit writing, gibberish it seems
But my heart holds this pen, it won't let go
It longs to be heard,  to be felt
To be understood

You and me,  that phrase won't leave me
It haunts me, it taunts me
It echoes on silent mornings
And screams on lonely nights
When did the "and" disappear
When did we disappear
I know this is just a collection of words 
Most don't care
I always thought you would 

I always thought we would be us

I always thought...that was the problem


Sorry soupers. Kind of a down point for me.  I will sit here and try to write something lighthearted. :)
