You Would Think

you would think by now I would have given up
you would think by now I would have forgotten you
you could not be further from the truth
you are deeper in my heart than that

you would think by now I would be looking
for someone else to take your place
to fill the gap that you have left
to close the piercing wound that remains

you would think by now I would have licked
my wounds and wandered off into the night
searching for a new light to show me the way
to show me the love you showed to me

you would think by now I might have grown angry
that I might feel cheated out of what I was seeking
but it is just the opposite feelings that I have

you would think by now I would have accepted
the fact that you will probably never even read
these words that I have written and that you
will never return to my world
you would think...
