Almost Lover
How do we get past this?
Do we even have a choice?
I know it can’t go further,
But it seems I’ve lost my voice.
Already with another,
I can’t claim you as my own.
Am I wasting moments?
While I sit and wait alone.
I don’t know how to stop this,
Not even sure I could,
Enjoying time together,
They way I knew we would.
Pursuing lost potential,
Ideals that will not pass.
How much should be invested,
When I know it will not last.
Do you want a lover?
Uncomplicated fun?
Will you take advantage?
Should I stay or should I run?
Running leaves me tired,
It doesn’t change a thing.
Time will still have passed us,
And the pain of it will sting.
Almost something special,
Do I stop and take a stance?
Years ago, long ago…
I would have stood a chance.
I feel I’ve known you always,
That it’s right when it is wrong.
Someone else who loves you,
So I stay and yet I long…
Do you think it easy?
What of the effects?
Do you think I’m coping?
Or is this just a test?
I know you think me hardy,
That I’m fine the way we are.
Don’t presume to know me,
Or how I feel at heart.
Time will show our ending,
A start of something new?
If that is not the answer,
Then the start of leaving you…
