Generous Host


There was a time I loved you.
There was a time I cared.
I would have done anything for you,
But you went running- scared.

The nights we spent together,
On the phone all night.
Who could have known
The destiny of love's plight?

The times I would wait by the mailbox
To comprehend the next delusional thought.
Those words I would read,
Those moments I sought.

How could I have known.
That the one I loved, didn't love me
How could I have known.
The love I fought for,
Would not fight for me?

To hear from you now,
Bittersweet in thought.
To hear from you now,
Sorrow it has brought.

Loss and regret are intense-
More intense than most.
Knowing I loved him once-
Is the generous host.
