that can be left behind
a love unsure
almost unkind
fleeting kisses
swept away
by one more glance
of a passerby
or another chance
you wish to try
what love is this
now forgotten
bonds once held
left to nothing
that is the way of it
one must always hurt more
than the other one
which of us is it to be
am I hurting you
or are you hurting me
pained with the desire
that true love brings
engulfed in a fire
smothered by the ashes
of sweet yesterdays
each pull on the strings
seems to weep
where once there was melody
harmony between two
not lost, but forgotten
flowing beneath the surface
like the very blood in my veins
and in yours, perhaps not
I am left to ask myself
what did I really expect
and my true answer is
nothing
but my heart neither feels nothingness
nor does my blood race for it
or my breathing quicken
the harmony forgotten
the melody of passion
it still plays in my soul
it plays for you
that you do miss me
that you might still want me
I know you hear it in mine
I know you hear my tears sometime
and suddenly you have to go
I know why
still it pains me so
the tears come to me more often now
I wonder if you are hurting too
Maybe you are over the hurting
over the longing
over the wishing
over the knowing
I'm not
I don't know how to be over it
I have wanted to stay out of the way
to keep from interferring with
your true happiness
the kind I feel I can't give you
I wanted to give you that
no matter how it hurt me
I wanted you to have that joy
the love and affection
the support and happiness
To have what I could not give you
or you might say, would not give you
yet it hurts so deeply
to hear your voice
knowing what words I will not hear
to see you lips, but not taste them
to feel your embrace
yet have to squelch the passion it fuels
to be your friend
and wonder if that will be enough
to keep my heart from breaking
there is a part of me
that never wants to see you again
that wants to forget
and there is the heart of me
that wants to be with you always
even as a friend
that wants to see you happy
successful
all the things you are meant to be
there is a part of me
that is not sure
not sure I know what my role
should be
there is the part of me
that loves you
still, always
there is part of me that believes
you never loved me
and part of me that knows
you love me so much
you are letting me go
there is that part of me
that is in your heart
and it will always be
and a part of you
I hold within me
I want to keep this part of you
even if it is friends
we are meant to be
