somewhere along the way i seemed
to have fallen in love with you again
i don't know when it happened
it just did
i do know the moment
i realized it to be true

i had kept a tight grip
on my heart because i knew
what you had the capability to do
i had placed certain boundaries
off-limit signs waving white flags
still they did no good

i was ok with the fact that long ago
you said goodbye to me
to us
i was ok with the fact that not so long ago
you found your true love
not me

but the other night when you said
these few simple words
it all became so complicated

{yea, i have thought about that too}

now i don't know if i can continue
with the knowledge of this
revelation
be it a slip of the tongue
or not

and i wonder if it would be better
if i never heard from you again
would it be easier
this pain
this void
this love that can never be shared between us

maybe
maybe not
i can't imagine not hearing your voice
not having you in my life

you had no right to say what you said
just as i have no right to love you
but you did
and i do

where do we go from here?
