I would forget you right now
I would leave these feelings behind
If it wasn't for the way you looked at me
I would put this all in the past
I would abandon all hope that I have
If it wasn't for the things you said to me
I would rather miss The Train than mess this up
I would force the words back down my throat
If it wasn't for the way you stared at me
The way you hugged me
The surprise on your face when you'd seen how I've grown
I would forget I ever felt this way
If you hadn't acted like you didn't feel it too
So welcome home my friend
It's never been better to see you
I would leave these feelings behind
If it wasn't for the way you looked at me
I would put this all in the past
I would abandon all hope that I have
If it wasn't for the things you said to me
I would rather miss The Train than mess this up
I would force the words back down my throat
If it wasn't for the way you stared at me
The way you hugged me
The surprise on your face when you'd seen how I've grown
I would forget I ever felt this way
If you hadn't acted like you didn't feel it too
So welcome home my friend
It's never been better to see you
A poem I wrote almost exactly 1 year ago in honor of my longtime friend Ryan coming home from 4 years in Africa. Now, 1 year later, on the night he returns home once again from three weeks in Colarado, I am reposting it, in honor of my boyfriend Ryan. I love you so much. Welcome home.
