Every time I pass you by
Sparks fly or at least they do in my eyes
I thought one conversation would ignite
What would be a new chapter of my life
I wanted to exchange stories and fears
Maybe even buried thoughts and tears

But I was wrong
I've allowed myself to hope for too long
I wanted to share words and phrases
But all we've shared are a couple of soundless gazes

Instead of hopes and years
Journeys and cares
You gave me your silent eyes and simple smile
When I wanted the sky and a single soul to stay by me for awhile
When I needed someone, anyone to give me try
Instead you gave me a head full of day dreams and comforting lies
Fueling a heart filled with constant denies
Soothing a stomach bursting with fluttering butterflies

It maybe silly to dwell on what hasn't happened
But the worst part is the lost chance of what could have been
I crave the chance to say hello a million times
I want to earn the chance to say only one goodbye
