Did
You Ever Love Me?
Was
there a part of me that
you
once embraced?
Was
there ever a time when
your
heart reached out to mine and
held
tightly to it?
Was
there never real sentiment there?
Was it only an illusion cast by your pain
and
insecurities?
Was
there ever a time when the thought
of
us together made you smile?
When "we" warmed your heart with the
anticipation
and excitement of what was to
come?
Did
you ever look back with regret once I
was
gone?
Did you ever wonder what might have been,
had
you only tried a little harder...
waited a little longer...
a
opened yourself a little more?
Did
causing me pain ever make you question
your
decisions?
Did
I ever matter in the equation of your life?
Do
you understand...?
do you have a clue...?
as
to how I hurt?
And does that matter to
you
at all?
I
had only my love to offer you.
Only
my heart to give.
Not
a great scholar or person of wealth.
Only
someone who loved you more than they could
ever
love themself.
Someone
who wasn't quite enough.
Someone
who still stands here,
remembering the good,
trusting in the person you were...
and
loving you still.
Someone
who is very foolish...
But
someone touched by so much love that
time
and distance seem not to fade it.
Someone
who gave you a heart full of
compassion
and joy...
and who hasn't been able
to
claim it back...
and isn't certain it should be.
Did
you ever love me?
Our
friends tell me no.
Did
you ever love me?
My
heart is calling out for answers...
for
if you really loved me...
why
did you go?
Why?
