It Could Have Been You

I've been watching you from a distance
Through pictures and words
Reading comments left to you by others
Finding it hard to believe

You've changed so much
In only a few years
Sometimes I wonder if you were
Only a figment of my imagination

I still think of you sometimes
You come across my mind
I wonder if you ever think of me
When you're sober enough to think

I'm in love with another man
Who treats me better than you ever did
But still I can't give up the thought
That it could have been you

Did you change because you wanted to
Or did you feel pressured
Were you tired of being the quiet one
Tired of being overlooked

I saw right through your shell back then
And I loved you for you
And even now as I watch you play your games
Becoming something I never thought possible

I still love you

Even though you're not the same
Atleast not on the outside
You're still the man I fell in love with
On the inside
