Still

You don't know what you mean to me
You don't know how I feel
You can't see me the way I see you
I'm fallen from your list
Crossed off and forgotten
Yet still written in--a footnote
On your list of endless possibilities
I'm still waiting in the wings
Willing to step in if you're looking for a partner
Still standing with my arms open in a possible embrace
In the rare event my arms were all you could find.
You still look at me sometimes
And sometimes your eyes betray you--
There's still some shred of emotion buried there
Some small part of what we used to be
Why can't you understand that I'm still here
I'm still hanging on your every word
And I'm still waiting for you to realise how much you loved me
