You once said, <br />You couldn't feel 'this'... <br />What you have now, <br />For me. <br />Back then. <br /> <br />And you once said, <br />I was a pest... <br />And from you flee. <br />Remember when, <br />Back then. <br /> <br />I might have been that guy... <br />Back then. <br />But then... <br />I'm much wiser now, <br />Then anytime <br />I've ever been... <br />In time before. <br /> <br />I'm not the one to repeat a repeat, <br />Ever again! <br />I'm not the one to repeat a repeat, <br />Ever again! <br />And then come those moments... <br />When my heart, my ears and eyes, <br />Are fixed on 'what if' and maybe. <br /> <br />You once said, <br />You couldn't feel 'this'... <br />For me, <br />Back then. <br />In that 'when' we lived in, <br />Back then. <br /> <br />Back when... <br />My heart, my ears and eyes, <br />Were fixed on 'what if' wishes and 'maybee'. <br /> <br />And it 'bees' that way sometimes! <br /> <br />I'm not the one to repeat a repeat... <br />Ever again! <br />But you are the one who once said, <br />You could not 'feel' 'this'... <br />For me. <br />Back then, <br />And... <br />You guaranteed me no win. <br /> <br />And here you've come to plead with me... <br />To, <br />Rescue you... <br />Again. <br />Like a windmill stirring up a breeze... <br />To set you free. <br /> <br />I might have been that guy... <br />Back then. <br />But then... <br />I'm much wiser now, <br />Then anytime <br />I've ever been before. <br /> <br />And even though you once showed me the door... <br />It is you I can't ignore. <br />And, <br />Even though you once showed me the door... <br />Before, <br />It is you I can't ignore. <br />Even though it's you I can't ignore. <br />It's you I choose to explore, <br />With a score you will remember.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
