I thought it rather silly
to await a call from you
your voice was once more
silent like
the tranquil ocean blue
Red moon rising in the
East tonight
stares down upon us both
I wonder if you're looking
too
as I ponder artist's quote:
Better to have lived
and loved
than never loved before,
The gulf that stands
between us
is too great for me to ignore
I thought that silence
was surely worse
than that from your own tongue
but what I heard tonight
unreal
your reasons for rejection.
I'd never hurt your tender
heart
I'd never leave your side
My fears, you see, were
all I shared
yet you internalized
But when I think through
clearly
it suddenly dawns on me
that you were seeking
anything
to justify leaving
For happiness and acceptance
given unconditionally
stared you starkly in
the face
yet something made you flee
I think that you are
worthy
of unconditional love
yet things you shared
make me believe
that you cannot accept true love
You said you find it
hard to see
the good within your soul
and when you found in
me that faith
you fled. How could I know?
You are a worthy woman
you deserve a loving man
Someone who simply accepts
you
for both the good and for the bad
I realize now your wounded
heart
cannot truly believe
that you are worth my
pure, true love
so you find a doubt and leave
At you I can't be angry
I can't feel just my pain
for your heart cries
out beneath your doubts
I sense your ego's stain
I wish you would believe
that
you are worthy of real love
no pedestal I place you
on
just faith that's from Above
We're meant to be together
you thought – and said – as much
and though I may never
see you again
I have to tell you thus:
You know within your
heart, I feel
you sense the Truth in me
I'll never hurt or betray
your trust:
I love you unconditionally.
So when you find you're
ready again
to accept me as I am
know this: I'll patiently
await your love;
You're worth it, a soul's true friend.
And if you don't return
to me
well, that is ok too
I have self-worth and
self-respect
with
or without you.
