Wrote this after a trip to the corner store. Was inspired. Jan. 13, 2011
Forever


Today I got a warm smile
She was pretty that is true
It was nice of her to do so
But the fact is she wasn't you

She was waiting for something more
A smile back and a word or two
I looked down and turned away
That's all my heart would let me do

I could feel her watch me walk away
Maybe wondering what was her mistake
But she didn't do a thing wrong
My cold reaction was for her sake

She'd only find pain in the end
Looking for love in a man like me
She would never find my heart now
Unrequited love is all it would ever be

The man she watched walk away
Spends his night now alone and blue
Trying to find the words to say
I will be here waiting for you
