reach you

june.26.2002

one time long ago,
my love was very true.
Back when I was young,
I thought I could reach you.

I fought so hard in vain,
and tried to hold you near.
my words fell on deaf ears,
my care you did not hear.

I realize now the truth,
that all you feel is pain.
It helps you sleep at night,
it's tears that keep you sane.

I tried to make you see,
but my offer would not do.
you just could not cope,
with you and I or I and you.
