I look back
At what I had
And it amounts to nothing
How I wanted to hold you in my arms
But never could
How I wanted you to look at me
In the same way
But never a glance
So I turned my head
And then I gave up
But then I saw a glimmer
A little sliver of hope
A ray of perfect sunshine
So I looked up
And there you stood
Elegant and beautiful
Like always
But all I have is dreams
Fantasies to play back in my mind
You have no idea how much
You’ve already helped me
Just by being you
Through those long days
A simple thought that saves me from insanity
You make me want to be
A better person
And for that I’m eternally grateful
So I will wait
And stand there with my head up
Waiting for my angel
To look again
And smile
