You caught my attention right from the start;
It wasn't long before you captured my heart;

Years later, we've been through so very much;
We've not had it easy, we've had it quite rough;

We've both been stubborn; there's no doubt;
Until recently it seemed we could work it out;

No matter the depth of my feelings for you,
If you don't feel as deeply, there's not much I can do;

There's a distance between us like never before;
No matter what I say I can't open that door;

I've opened my eyes, and now I can see;
that for you I'm no longer a priority;

What do I do with the dilemma I'm in,
do I continue the fight or give up, say, "you win"?

I've heard, 'If you love something set it free';
If I did, would you find your way back to me?

This is a poem I wrote years ago, but discovered again and recently revised.
