Maybe I Was Never Yours
I may not have a place in your perfect world
I may not be that special emerald
I may not be your perfect man
But do you know that I am your biggest fan?
Do you know I slowly became mesmerized by your charm
And waited for the day to hold your arm
I have waited for the day to speak to you
Though we did speak often and the words were not few
But it was that special something I always wanted to say
I searched and searched for your heart's way
We met as strangers having different lives
And have met different people as large as bees of a hive
But it is you that I remember the most
For you are the most precious thing I have lost
When our eyes first met,I experienced something different in me
That is only you can ever, see
I can't say I saw my future in your eyes
But looking at them I could not speak any lies
Oh how I wish our talks would be from the heart
But I neither opened myself,nor my heart
Was it a fear of losing you?
And failing to start anew?
I may not have been your emerald
But you, and only you were my world
I was not scared to express my words of love
The truth is I did not show you my charred body in the flames of love
