To the Man You Could Be
Another message sent
Another message left with no reply
You say you still love me
Is that really true or just another lie
I’ve tried so hard to figure you out
Spent so much time and energy on it
And yet still I’m filled with nothing but doubt
Some days you have everything to say
And others nothing at all
I try to take it day by day
And wait for you to call
But the longer I stay
The more pain I force myself to endure
Nothing about any of this is fair
Some give all, others give none
Are the feelings still there?
The ones you felt when we first begun
Are you still in love with me?
Or are we really done?
Do you remember the way things used to be?
Or are the memories completely gone?
I mean just tell me the truth
Where do we go from here?
Do you even want me to stick around?
Or would it better for you if I’d just disappear?
Here I stand tied up and bound
My own emotions are my worst enemy
Wondering if my heart can bare
The complete honestly
I so desperately long to hear
With all this uncertainty
My hear heart is filled with fear
There is no real right answer
And I feel the start of another tear
I turn to hide
Not wanting you to see
The pain I’ve buried inside
And I walk away knowing we’ve gotten nowhere
Maybe next time maybe another day another place
So for now we say goodbye
And again I begin to cry
Not really even knowing why
After all you’re just one guy
At least that’s all that meets the eye
But you are so much more than that to me
In my heart I see the man you long to be
I know this because…
That’s the man who fell in love with me!!!!!
