Have You Ever Experienced A Moment Like This

Into My Life

you came.

We became good friends,

shared daily stories

about our daily lives.

I saw you as someone special,

someone I could love.

You looked at me simply as a friend.

I watched, listened,

of the sorrows of your life.

With each new relationship you had,

you knew you could trust me,

because we were friends.

All you wanted was “to be loved,”

words you would say after each hurt.

“Perhaps the next time will be the best of times,”

I would say, privately wishing it would be me.

Then you saw your last sun rise,

breathed your final breath.

Love never touched you,

the way you dreamed it would.

Into my life you came,

a one-sided love affair,

and you never knew.
