an old piece

i was going through my old things the other night and i stumbled upon a piece of paper where an poem i composed was written. it was dated 04121998.

as i read the poem i caught my self smiling, not because of the story behind the poem, but its relevance with what's happening to a friend of mine currently.

so this poem is for my friend... hehehehehe... read on...

i've always kept this feeling
in my heart, deep within
it's about how much i care for you
of how much my heart beats for you
i don't know how to tell you about it
i can't find the words that would fit
i've tried to tell you once
but you turned down my only chance
so now i'm afraid to speak
the rejection made me so weak

but to tell you, you're still in my heart
nothing yet can tear my feelings apart
my heart still beats for you
i've never looked at someone new
i've taken every chance to show you i care
i tried to always be there
when you have problems to share
i've always been ready to give help
whenever you're in need and can't do things yourself
i've tried everything i can to make you happy
even if it means i should be lonely

but no matter what you do
it will still be you
nothing can change what i feel
it will be you still
even if you give your heart to someone
you will still be the one
i'll still wait for the time
when you'll finally be mine
when you can accept me for what i am
when you'll reach for my heart saying
that one sweet line

i'll still hope for that day
when we can walk hand in hand
when we can let time pass with you in my arms
i'll still hope for that moment
when i can share with you all the happiness in the world
all the beauty that's with it
all the wonders it can offer to both you and me

i hope that time would come
when i can finally live the dream that you're mine
and live that wish that i've wished
all this time

i hope that day would still come...
