Hope that you can hear me,
Far and away, removed from my world.

We didn’t act,
Or I didn’t act on my feelings,
My emotions hungry for action
Stayed silent all the time we knew each other.

Only when you left, did they wake up.

We were strangers,
I never knew of your feelings
If your heart already belonged to someone
Special.

I only loved you because it was safe
And no danger of being hurt.
I needed to love for a while
For when I left
I left my hopes of what might have been
Behind me.
And I took with me all that could have been
And my fantasies of might have been.
