I Tried To Stay Away
From across the street I quietly
attended your wedding today and
I fought for the words I so longed
to say.
Tender rain fell upon my shoulders
leaving numbness from the loss
of you. Never has there been a love
boulder and once like ours, so true.
Hearing your well makes me smile
but returns me to the thoughts of
all the shared dreams and miles.
My old friend why are you so shy
it is not like you to hold back when
with me and not smile.
Only yesterday was our time in this
life. I tried to stay away but I could
not hide my love or fight it.
I hoped when you seen me it would
remind you that for us it will never
be over. I hoped you would cover
the rain falling on my shoulders.
The pain in my eyes are falling down
my face in tears of truth.
I know I shouldn't be here but I had
to one more time say I love you.
Please never forget how much we cared
for nothing will ever be as complete as
you and me and all we shared.
Take this ribbon you once pulled from
my hair and take it with you to remind
you I'll always in that memory be there.
