Someday you will realize
How right I am for you
It has happened to all my friends
Except for the rare few.
Eventually it became my turn
To be the person in need
My falling in love with you
Was quite the surprise indeed.
And though my love is finally seen
I have long since been able to care
You took too long to realize me
And the waiting was not fair.
Now you longingly look back
At the friends that we were
How you could have missed my love
You will never be quite sure.
And as you look back
The memories of me you carry
Never able to quite let go
Of the one you would never marry.
I am embedded in your mind
In each and every thought
I am your long lost love
That will never be sought.
Would you take the memories back,
No, not ever,
You will remember me instead
But only for forever.
