Doorstep

I didn’t know who you were when you came in,
you were just a kid,
and I had my life to live.

Your eyes had a light that invited me inside,
but the door was still open wide,
so I thought I’d let time decide.

You stood apart and it was too hard to see,
what you’d be like with me,
so I guess I just let you be.

On busy streets I saw where your glance was cast,
I never thought it could last,
and so I walked right past.

You came up fast and I never had the chance to say,
I’d be with you someday,
I never tried to get in the way.

Years have past and I wish I had the chance to say,
I think about you everyday,
but I can’t find the way.

It might help out if you left a light at your gate,
in case I’m a little late,
and you’re still holding out for fate.

We can’t go back and I know it’s a lot to ask,
that a lot of good friends have passed,
and the feelings don’t often last.

If that’s the case then I won’t need a place to stay,
for even with these words to say,
there’s a price I still have to pay.

I didn’t know who you were when you came in,
please forgive me love,
for I have sinned.
