Blind To Real Love
It seems I acted like all the rest.
I’m sorry girl, I failed your test.
But, in my defense, you see.
I didn’t know you cared for me.
I was just one of the boys.
More concerned with getting toys.
I never gave us much thought.
Now, I am suffering what I have wrought.
Now that I step back & take a look.
I can read you like a book.
All the times you tried your best.
To get my attention away from the rest.
I was just too blind to see.
That you had such feelings for me.
Now that I see what’s going on.
I am sorry for taking so long.
I just pray it is not too late.
I want to take you on a date.
I find that I have feelings to.
Many of them are just for you.
At times, I felt like you were my sister.
You were always there, though I was with her.
Then, when I wasn’t attached to her,
you gave me excellent support, that’s for sure.
If I had only seen what was going on.
I would have been with you all along.
I just hope it’s not to late.
We may find on our first date.
That you are much more to me.
Than a sister could ever be.
Also I can be more to you.
Than some heartbroken, blind, fool.
Looking for support to make it through.
You are so beautiful, inside and out.
Now that my eyes are open, I can shout.
Why, oh why did I wait so long?
Let’s give it a try. It can’t be wrong.
