If you call at all

@Uootem

If you look closely
you will know that I am hurting,
You can see it in my eyes
that gaze at you from a distance.
For they open up my heart,
and reveal what's inside.

Losing our once shared love
wasn't easy for me
We were too young for it to last...
and grew up way too fast
You can see that I'm still hurting
from passing away of our shared past.

Just a boy of such a tender age...
just a girl of such tender passions
There my heart has remained
ever since you went away
No time left to be in love...
forgetting how it felt in your arms

Only learning how to run...
attempting to make memories go away
Writing to try and let her understand
that just because he cries inside
the boy I am isn't less a man today...
and the girl you are is quite a woman.

I will never understand
the passing of things, until it is our time again
I have spent a lifetime hoping for love's renewal
and its now what I do best
For in the hoping I find
the only relief from pain available to me now

For all the running I have done
has not placed me any further away from the memories
I made myself a promise that
I intend to keep through all the years necessary...
to always to be there
when you call... if you call at all.
