This Wall

Sometimes I thought if I waited long enough

Then you would understand I loved you

But you could not understand

And sometimes I thought if I walked far enough

Then you would know I wanted you

But you did not know.

And now the wall where I waited forgets me

And the roads no longer expect our passing

And strangers no longer wonder who we are

Nor hope to see us on our way.

But I wish someone had waited so many times for me

Or walked these so many miles

But you said you would not come that far or wait so long,

But said I loved you less

And you said you would not change your ways

But knew you loved me more

And I could not change you heart

For love is shared not made

But still I wonder did I do enough

Or ask if I walked far enough

When already you have said you gave too much

And that you know I never really cared.
