Time Will Tell:

Thought you were the one for me.
 
Guess maybe we're not destined to be.
 
Tried so hard to make you see, how very much you meant to me.
 
Put my heart out on the line.
 
Sad to say its been shot down nearly every time.
 
Late each night I stay up and cry.
 
I wish and pray and wonder why as I stare up at a darkened sky.
 
Will I ever be more than just your friend?
 
Not sure how much longer I can pretend.
 
Its becoming harder to hide this pain.
 
I'm so tired of the day to day strain.
 
My heart won't simply let things be, its persistent just like me. 

Should you ever fall for me, guess now only time will see.
