MAYBE TO YOU I'VE COME AND GONE

Maybe to you
I've come and gone,
never to be loved again.

Be to me your memory,
is engraved in gold
for all of time,
to never fade.

And with each day that passes,
I wonder where
and how it is-
that you are,
and I watch the streetlamps going by,
one by one,
and wonder why you have to be so far.

And each time I make
another accomplishment
in the great string that makes my life,
I go outside beneath the stars
and think of you at night.

And I ache and wish,
and wonder why, just why
you can't be there,
because I wish you were-
to be proud of me,
since there's noone else I'd rather have here.
