For now.

by Jon Hunt   May 7, 2006


So I finally see,
It wasn't meant to be.
Did I try hard enough?
Maybe I tried too much.

But now I couldn't care,
As I no longer stare,
At what I thought I saw,
What I though of you before.

For now I don't feel the same,
Now it's a feeling rather sane.
This time I'm free once more,
Left alone with nothing to fight for.

And now I'm lost,
Feelings torn, thrown and tossed.
Nowhere to aim,
I've got nothing left to claim.

But your picture remains,
In my head its framed.

And I want you,
But I don't know you,
And I think it through,
But its still you,
And I'll think a'new,
But still its you.

And so I say I don't care,
But in truth, that's not fair.
For there was something there,
There's nothing there.

And I say I don't stare,
But your picture is there,
Oh what beauty there;
When your picture is there.

And what I thought I saw,
Maybe it was flawed.
Maybe there was something more,
What if there was something more?

And what I thought of you before,
I cant think about it anymore.
I conclude that now I'm sure,
It's just not you anymore.

But why did I think,
Why do I always think,
Out of line,
Way out of time,
That there could be more,
For I was so sure.
But you didn't see,
That part of me,
That wanted more,
Too much more.
But just friends is fine,
For now.

    I loved use of questions like you were questioning yourself but the lines I like best would have to be
    And now I'm lost,
    Feelings torn, thrown and tossed.

    Very different from some of your other stuff...but I liked it. It had great rhyme and I like the way you used rhetorical questions to convey doubt. Such emotional turmoil....wonderfully written...
