Persist

Dreams don't always come true and that I have to accept. But you were so much better than all the rest. You always cared and you always loved. You were always there when push came to shove. I wanted so badly to have you near. But it's someone else who you hold dear. "Persist" you once told me "Cause your dream might come true". But when you gave me this advice Did you know that my dream was you? Sometimes I think you did But then I'm not so sure. It doesn't really matter anyway Cause your advice I chose to ignore. How could I persist Once I knew the truth? I couldn't even pretend to not know Cause you'd given me the proof. I dealt with it the best I could And tried to hide my feelings from you. But deep down inside of me I am sure that you still knew. So now I just sit and wait And check the mail each day. I hope that you are home real soon Cause it's been lonely with you away.
