Love Not Taken

Out on the porch waiting for the rising sun
Still thinking of you as you sleep in the bed
I can only gaze at the sliding door
You're inside the room, so near yet so far
I have given a lot and asking nothing back
But what good is a man with broken principles?
Disappointing, yes, yet you have made me more
Of what I am and what I should be
Love comes in many unexpected ways
I would say you are the most surprising
You've changed a lot since then
I don't like that and still I love you more
I miss your spontaneity and mature personality
You are still beautiful, always is
Sadly, you will never know of this
And so I say this to you through written words
Is it weird that I love you?
Because I do, I even find it funny sometimes
But it's true and you know it too
That all I have from you will only be memories
Of a love that will never come to be
