Looking Back

I turned to see you

looking back at me

and I thought of all

the times you're lips touched mine

I smiled knowing that I 

was the only person in the 

room, who knew

And through out the months

that we were together,

I knew you even better

than you knew yourself,

I realized I was the one 

lucky person you chose to 

share yourself with and that we

were meant to be together

And as much as I tried to

forget

as much as I tried to let go, I

came to the conclusion that

when two people meet, who have

that most wonderful feeling that

they can't seem to let go of or

even want to let go of, that 

immeasurable bond that no matter

who or what, nothing can

tear them apart

When you have that

then you have love

And yet, we were

tearing each other apart

because alas, we had prior commitments

and having found each other quite

by accident, we never had

the time to figure out where 

we stood in this world

So you pushed me away

and as my heart broke, I dreamed

that our time would come again

I turn to see you 

looking back at me and though I know we

cannot be together now,

I know that what we have

is real. I see it in your eyes.

And even though I don't have you

I have you
