Never Came the Dream

For all this while, I've been alone
it seems my wait shall ever be
Your smile went to someone else
for you took no delight in me

Why did you have to come along
possessing such a lovely face?
How I have longed for such a time
to be inside your warm embrace

And like a cloud you passed on by
so very close, yet far from me
And though my hopes for you were high,
never came the dream to be
