Sad to say I'm back here.

Nice of You To Try

You were the sweetest angel of them all,
The last to ever want to see me fall,
But when I did- and put you in the sky,
You couldn’t love me back, but you would try.

I know for you it must have seemed surreal,
Just how much love can anybody feel?
And all for you without a reason why
You couldn’t love me back, but you would try.

My heart shot out its hopes and dreams and wants,
Like safety flares not getting a response-
Oh you were moved enough to even cry...
Just never love me back, but you would try.

I treasure everything that we have shared.
You are an angel, look how much you cared
To guard my dream, though it will never fly
Because you just can’t love me, but you try.

I hope our time has met some kind of need,
And mine will be the only heart to bleed.
But maybe now it’s time to say “Good bye.”
I love you; it was nice of you to try.
