I gazed at you
from across the room,
tears of sorrow within.
Your stone-cold apathy
tore everything apart
before it could even begin.
You offered no options
where love was concerned.
I hadn't a fighting chance.
I hoped and I prayed
as you walked slowly away
that you'd give me a second glance.
It could have worked out
I felt it deep down
if only you would let me try.
I loved you so much
I could do nothing else
but hang my head and cry.
Over some time
I pulled myself up,
my heart no longer sore.
Now friends we are
and nothing but
friends for ever more.
