It was not love at first sight and

I’m not quite sure how it all started.

I remember I like you

more and more each passing day

being the dreamy girl that I was.

The kind of feeling

that was hard to explain.

I knew it was love and

that you felt the same way too.

Many said it was just infatuation,

I would forget you soon.

But why do I have the same strong emotion 

deep within me still?

Perhaps we were too young then 

to think about falling in love.

For the years ahead were uncertain,

our circumstances so different.

Many things we left unspoken and

we just drifted apart

like a message in a bottle

floating in the sea.

If I’m granted a wish today

I wish for an hour with you

to tell you how I felt

how much I loved you

how I had missed you.

And before I go

I will wish you well and

say goodbye.
