Pictures....

Throbbing at the sight of your face

Bringing the tears in a stinging rush to my eyes

I kick myself for this sorrow I feel

For I know you have long since moved on

But what I felt for you was real

And it refuses to be quieted by my will

If only things had not gone as they did

If only I had kept my heart as my own

Instead of letting you inside

To so quickly rip it to shreds

But it's okay

I love you anyway

And one day you will know

That my love for you was worth more than this

More than just another college friend

More than just another passing whim

More than you have yet to understand

Enough to give up all I've ever wanted

To help you chase your dreams

My love for you

Would break down any wall

And cross any sea

That dared separate

You from me

Except for

This

Wall

Solid

Impenetrable

That you have built

Between

Us

This

Wall

That turned 'we'

Into

You

and

Me

I have tried

To break it down

But now I know

That my efforts are in vain

You have turned me away

Blocked me out

Rejected me

And I know

That we will never be

But still I cry

For what I hoped to see

Because no matter what you

Say

Despite everything you can

Do

I will always know that

I

Loved

You
