it seems I was presumptuous
and even dared assume
that the person you were speaking to
was standing in this room
this room where only I reside
alone with all my thoughts
where I let my feelings hide
from all the pain I’ve wrought
I was caught up in emotion
because it sounded so sublime
I didn’t really stop to think
and I put my heart out on the line
I thought I could be your lighthouse
In your sea of salty tears
and you could be my savior
and subdue all my fears
but it seems I misread the words
you put so well to rhyme
it’s too bad we didn’t meet before
some other place some other time
I thought you were an addict
to the words in which I write
and that in all your darkness
perhaps I was some light
that I might be that person
that you were longing for
and the one that you were talking to
when you said you wanted more
so I’m sorry I misunderstood
your desperate passion plea
I guess it was make believe
and it wasn’t meant for me
I hope you aren’t uncomfortable
and that we can still be friends
who knows what our futures hold
and just where it is we’ll end
