Midnight Thoughts
The
midnight hour approaches fast;
I crawl into my bed.
But sleep won't come, for thoughts of you
Keep running through my head.
I try to fight these hopeless thoughts
But can't seem to forget.
Why did I feel so drawn to you
From the first time that we met?
The way you smiled and looked at me
Is etched into my mind.
Did I just imagine it?
Could fate be so unkind?
I could have sworn you felt it too,
That bond we seemed to share.
Although I tried to deny the truth
It was obviously there.
So when I heard you were attached
I had to fight back tears.
I couldn't take you from a girl
You'd been dating all these years.
I really thought we'd had a chance
But now it couldn't be.
From the time I heard that awful news
It seemed fate was mocking me.
I saw you everywhere I went;
So handsom and so kind.
Although I tried to turn away
You seemed to haunt my mind,
When we went our seperate ways
I thought I'd be okay,
But thoughts of you still flood my mind
Almost every single day.
I think that it will take a while
For my aching heart to mend
And to accept this unfair truth
That I must be just a friend.
So that is why I lay in bed
And think about the past.
With one last fleeting thought of you
My sleep wins out at last.
But even though my mind's at rest
It's less peaceful than it seems
For although I can't see you in the flesh
You're there in all my dreams.
