WHAT COULD'VE BEEN

By: Galin Mehrabipour

I'll never forget the sparkle in your eye,
The dimple in your cheek,
Or that exquisite way our eyes would meet.

It could have been special.
It could have been sweet.

Was it so hard to see
It was you I wanted for me?

All along I was there.
You didn't say you wanted me.
Did you not care?

You showed me some feelings;
Yet with no words.
How was I supposed to know?
Should I have guessed?
I don't think so.

You took me for granted all those years.
You may have forgotten
But I still break down in tears.

I always loved being the girl next door.
Ever since you moved away
Life has been a bore.

Even though we were never together,
I'll always remember you.
Though only in my dreams,
You'll remember me too.

Wherever you are
You'll always be loved by me.
Your denyed love for me
I will never see.
