It was an awakening of my soul
and for that tiny moment I felt whole.
For you I would have caught the sky
and held it close just for you and I.
A moment gone, a moment past.
A moment never meant to last.
But how it changed me, looking now
at the person looking back and how
I am not who I used to be.
Though who that is I cannot see.
I now know the agony of a broken heart -
the pain of love that wouldn't start.
Some would say that I am better off
because I loved even though I lost.
Whether they are right I cannot say
because my love has always been one-way.
