Six and Counting (First Draft)
"Six and Counting"
And so here I am again
Sitting by my lonesome, you on my mind
Had this dream again, the one that wasn't meant to be
Almost let myself believe I was your special someone
-Been gone a year, but still I think of you
-Felt like I was so close
-But one person can wait only so long
-Was never worth the risk for you to take
I lay awake tonight still wondering
Wanting to hope, wanting to let go
Sent me off with a letter that teased this dream
Maybe I'll never know, maybe you couldn't...
Maybe you can't find the answer to give me
All I've ever wanted was my fair chance (thought I was so close)
Wanted to hold, to kiss, to make you smile
-Been gone a year, but still I think of you
-Felt like I was so close
-But one person can wait only so long
-Was never worth the risk for you to take
I've no one to share this feeling with
Not like anyone could understand
Been chasing a dream, it's been six and counting
Yet here I am, kissed you last night
Felt so great to be with you, until I woke
Now I have to pick up the pieces again...
Try to move on, though you'll always be a part of me

Tell me what you think of it, and if you have any suggestions.
-This still hurts, though, you wouldn't, you couldn't know... this is what happens when you dare to dream, try to hope and try to believe in something that wasn't meant to be. Told you those words, said them to your face and I hope you never forget. I'd never say them if I didn't truly mean them, I'd tell you everyday if you needed me to... if you wanted me to. My wish was made and my shooting star has faded, I was always meant to be this (the hopeless romantic), I'm your Romeo, the love that never quite made it. I lay down to sleep now, another night I pray, I hope I don't wake with a dream of you today because it makes it that much harder to let go.-
