You were mine, just for awhile,
although you never knew it;
you could always make me smile,
but somehow, we didn't fit.
A one-sided love was all it was,
you didn't know just how I felt;
a brief encounter, a short-lived buzz,
you never saw the way my heart did melt.
I could have loved you, if you let me,
but you had someone else in mind;
you never realized, you let me be,
somebody you would never find.
But love unreturned, is no love at all,
and so I went, my unhurried way;
you weren't around to see me fall,
I just slowly vanished from your day.
You were mine, for just a little while,
although you never spoke a word to me;
funny, how you always made me smile,
and never knew the day you set me free.
