Lost Love

Thoughts of you
Soar through my mind.
It feels like I've
Been left behind.

It's been so long
Since I've heard your voice.
I haven't seen your face,
But I had no choice.

Once we were as close
As any one could see.
Then fate took over
And what had to be, had to be.

We grew so apart, and now,
I don't know who you are.
We live so close together,
And yet you feel so far.

I felt in love
Such a long time ago.
I'd do anything for you,
As you know.

If you'd at least be my friend,
You'd care in some way.
Just to know that you're around,
Would make me want to stay.
