I guess I thought
I had a chance.
I guess I thought
It more than happenstance
That you appeared in my life
Before I was ready for
(you).
I guess I thought
It would be easy.
I guess I thought
Your laugh would free me
From the picture of my life
That someone else
(drew).
I guess I wrongly think I’m better
Than the average “Eh, she’s whatever,”
But when I saw you standing there,
Combined with my “come-get-me” stare,
And no response? I retract my love letter.
I guess I thought
You’d come running.
I guess I thought
You’d be stunned when
I made it clear
I had my eye on
(you).
I guess I thought
This would be easy.
I guess I thought
You’d be pleased when
I said, “I want this,
(too.”)
But I’m left disappointed
Despite being holy annointed
In your light.
I will fight
To be appointed
(yours).
