You

When I was just a teen, a young girl on the brink,
I didn’t know where I belonged, and slowly I began to shrink.
I felt alone, on my own, with no one to turn too,
I was down, I was fading,
And then one day I met you.

I fell in love, head over heals, but you didn’t feel the same,
I wondered if you ever would, I got flutters at your name.
As time went on, we grew up and I met someone new,
We drifted apart, and we moved on, 
Yet there were times when I still missed you.

So many years had passed, we had really grown, 
We had both moved on now and I had children of my own.
Tragedy struck and our paths crossed again
It hurt me bad, standing by and seeing you in pain.
There you were in front of me, with somebody new,
But I was glad to know, you had someone to comfort you.

We became friends once more, it felt like coming home for me,
Only this time was different, we were different, we both had a family.
One day, completely out of the blue,
You said something that got me thinking,
Thinking about you.

And now here I am, happy in my life,
Yet when I think of you, it pierces like a knife.
I am drawn to you and I’ve never known the reason why,
It confuses me and makes me worry as I never meant to lie.
We talk and laugh in secret, no one has a clue,
And although it’s wrong, there’s a part of me, that can’t help wanting you.

We will never be we say, as we stand a few feet apart,
You make me nervous, my hands both tremble as I place one on your heart.
Suddenly you pull me close and then we both give in,
Just a minute of passion, and my head is in a spin.
I want this I say to myself, I’ve thought it through and through,
Who knew after all these years, my heart still beats for you
