i don't know how you
feel about me anymore

i know we're friends
who tell one another secrets

but maybe there's one more
secret we haven't told

what if i were to say
i had feelings for you

we've been here before
things didn't quite work out

but i can't help but feel
there's something more

lingering thoughts
missing touch

maybe one day we could meet
or say these things in person

but for now
i'll sit here

with my poetry and music
while you're across the ocean

with your poetry and music
possibly thinking the same things

I am the person
I am today
Because of the things
I've gone through
The lessons I've learned
The hard truths
The empty words
The broken promises
And here I am
Standing stronger than ever

They want me to be the old me
and dislike the way I am now.
Despite what they say behind me,
they smile whenever I'm around.

You can't play a game of matters of the heart,
If your heart isn't available to be had.
