love in reality

i think tonight i can write the loneliest lines
for tonight i feel nothing but numb

your face, your eyes, your smile that sweeps me
your skin, your hand, your touch that stuns me

yesterday we talked, we laughed, i felt
today, not a word, not a nod, not even a look.

it took a few for me to know you were special
it took less to know i wasn't.

just like my hopes and dreams of love,
all fell, all broken, all unrequitted.
