I THOUGHT

IT WAS YOU

I'd searched so long for the one;

the one who would know me, Inside out,

I knew if I found him my whole world would change

— that no matter the cost, I would run through the pain.

I'm sorry…I thought it was you.

He would gaze at me in the night and share words of passionate prose.

We would wile away the hours and the years together, at ease.

He would never doubt my love and I would be his to own forever.

So sorry…I thought it was you.

The one I dreamt of knew my ways

and understood the varied beat and rhythm, that my life retreat upon.

We would spend our days as friends, working our way through the strife

and worry that breeds in this world. A pity…it wasn't you.

I would have traveled the whole world to be with the one I have dreamt of.

I would have forsaken all that I have, burning the memories of the past

and walk towards his, and my life.

But I was sketchily mistaken, I guess it’s sad…coz I thought it was you.
