All the words on all the parchment,
All the love that this heart gives,
Was never enough for the one I love,
The girl I’m dreaming of never once cared for me,
And honestly I can’t blame her,
So I write this poem with a disclaimer,
I care too much for love.

From the day I met her I’ve been awe struck,
At the beauty, the laugh, the smile and the craft,
From arts to inks to prayers,
I’ve never seen a love so fair.
And I say this now in memory,
For the one I never told,
I’m sorry.

With every fiber of my being as my tears swell on the page,
I’m so sorry I didn’t say that I loved you,
At the time I didn’t know how much you meant,
So I let the moment slip away, but I want you to know,
Not a day goes by that I don’t try for yesterday.
