You’re still the one

Seconds from heaven, so near yet so far, a

Heartbeat between us,

A locker too far, should I have been quicker, and

Rushed to your side?

Oh, I guess so, I know so,

No doubt in hindsight.

So now that you know of the torch that I bear, I

Hope that you’ll read this, sometime or somewhere,

A wish that I cherish, a dream coming true, would be a

Reply and a fond word from you, but if that’s not to be,

Or you think I’ve moved on, well

No, I’m still here, and you’re still the one.
