The one I once called ‘Darling’
The one with whom I am in love
But Something has happened
We look at each other
And suddenly somehow it’s changed
Now I’m afraid to tell her
How much she means to me
Afraid to say “I love you”
For fear she won’t say it back to me
After school I called her
Wanting to see her face
To hear her sweet voice
Calling my name
Calling for me
But she was reluctant to see me
It was obvious right from the start
She didn’t hug me tight
Like she always used to do
Why has her sweet, sunny love
So quickly turned to fog?
I can’t find my way
I’m lost in a daze
Because I don’t know what to do
I’m afraid to tell her I love her
Afraid that she won’t respond back
Because I was so long away
But eventually it has got to work out
I guess I’ll just wait for a while
Time heals all wounds, or so they say
So maybe I’ll get my love back, some day
But for now, I worry
About someday
