A glimpse, a glance
a stare, perchance
darting, searching
watching, waiting
you know he's not for you
the fire burns
shrinks to an ember
cooled by indifference
you think it's over
a flicker of wind
effort undone
and you know
you know it's only just begun
he still doesn't know you
how long, how long will you wait how far can you tread between love and hate
of me, of you
if only dreams came true
but all that's left are bitter smiles
and ashes
yet you burn
you burn for his smile
and when he sings
when he sings
sometimes the world stops
and the beauty of it makes you want to cry
and sometimes you do
because his song's not for you
and slowly the fire dies
and you're left with ashes
cold ashes and warm ember
because the cycle never ends
warm, waiting ember
until he smiles at you again
if i ain't got you|11:10 pm
