This poem is actually a song that I wrote. I'll be leaving my best friend behind when I go off to college, and it's going to be the hardest thing I've ever done. I hate to leave him, and this song shows the love and confusion that I feel, along with the results of unspoken heartaches left unsaid for too long a time.
Compared To You |

When you stood in the doorway engulfed in summer shadow and waved goodbye to me, I made a silent promise to the setting sun and hoped you would hear me. I'll never love another like I love you, Darlin' I never make a promise I don't intend to keep. It doesn't really matter if you don't feel like that; Compared to you, they're only second best to me. They followed me around, offerin' me kisses, gold, and diamond rings. But to each of them I said, "Hey, Honey, I'm sorry, but I know my heart's desire. " I'll never love another like I love you, Darlin' I never make a promise I don't intend to keep. It doesn't really matter if you don't feel like that; Compared to you, they're only second best to me. The years passed by, college came and went and now, I'm comin' home. I dialed your number, said a quick hello, then sang into the phone: I'll never love another like I love you, Darlin' I never make a promise I don't intend to keep. It doesn't really matter if you don't feel like that; Compared to you, they're only second best to me. Silence on the line, then I heard you smile, and take a long deep breath. You said, "Baby, I know exactly what you're thinking, but why'd you wait all this while? " Because I'll never love another like I love you, Baby I never make a promise I don't intend to keep. I'll never love another like I love you, Baby. Compared to you, they're only second best to me. |
