wake in the middle of the night
say my name in a whisper
just once more
and just once more
lay awake until morning
slowly realizing i'm not there

write me a letter
filled with promises and regrets
just once more
and just once more
pretend that every written word
holds some hidden feeling

sing me a song
composed in a minor key
just once more
and just once more
play each sad chord
as the melody falls from your eyes

tell me what i want to hear
that this distance makes you weak
just one more
and just once more
ask me if i love you
and let me be afraid to answer.

[just once more i'm putting this all behind me]

I honestly can't believe that no one has replied to this poem yet!

Anyways...THIS WAS FANTASTIC! "Just once more" added so much effect to this piece. Really, I'm not sure what to say because I'm speechless! WONDERFUL WORK! This is def. going in my library!!! ~Jess

I am sorry to say i can relate to this poem, entirely...i loved it.

Always look forward, never look back, dreams are much more refreshing than regrets.

Very beautiful poem!! Im just amazed by this. Not one word is out of place!
I really love this poem, sooo much, and I can relate to it too.
I especially love the line,"as the melody fall from your eyes."
Beautiful. A true work of art.

Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
