Love Left Behind

I have searched by my side
And I could not find you there
I have looked so afar
But you are nowhere

I've even turned around
Where I've looked in my past
It is there that I found you
And so relieved at last

When I try to confront you
We are timelines apart
You cannot yet see me
As I'm not in your heart

We are but two strangers
Who have not yet met
As it is in the future
That our paths intersect

But because I am selfish
And I want you once more
I try to approach you
Like I once did before

Though it wasn't our time
As you didn't have a clue
And I couldn't convince
I was someone you knew

Where both of our paths
In opposites they went
And the day we would meet
I seemed to prevent

Now back in my present
And you're still not here
But all of my memories
Will now disappear

Because sometimes it's better
To not try to plea
Just hold what is close
As a fond memory

And love might be cruel
When one day it's gone
But I know now it's worse
When you can't hold on
