For a moment

For a moment, I thought of you again

Like I haven't in so many years

Memories, both foe and friend

Dredged up all my blissful fears

A warmth I haven't felt since you

Rushed through my very core

Those ancient feelings come anew

And I longed for so much more

I longed for you to look at me

The way you never did

To see all the things I never let you see

Things with all my might, I hid

Even now, I wonder if you knew

The words I'd left unspoken

How my heart would beat for you

The fear you'd leave it broken

For a moment, I thought of you again

Saw that kindness in your eye

But all that's good comes to an end

And that moment soon passed by

Then I was left alone again

That moment was enough

For I had only been your friend

When you were my first love

And you probably haven't thought of me

Since the day we said goodbye

Wouldn't waste your words on poetry

To make the masses cry

And maybe I never really loved you

But only the idea

And all the memories of you

Or who I thought you were

Perhaps I never understood

What all those feelings meant

But thank you for giving what you could

Thank you for that moment
