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!!!!!
