Such a hopeless case...

Even Then

I beat so many odds that day
No obstacles along the way
No clouds obscured the blazing blue
Against all odds- I came to you.

I saw you looking just for me
A better dream there couldn’t be
What was I doing being there-
Just a simple dream to share.

All that drama long ago…
Love is all I’ll ever know-
Really you- that dreamed of smile
Happiness for just a while.

Once or twice we get this blessed
Love so long ago confessed-
Didn’t matter, then or now-
Just- I had to try somehow.

Just can’t stop this heart of mine-
Watching it naively shine-
Just as it did for you back when-
It didn’t matter- even then.

Hush sweet angel- not a word,
It’s just me, my love’s absurd
Let it go, I’ll be alright-
Dreaming you each day and night.
