You’ll always be my maybe

The love that could have been

Haven’t seen you in some time now

But it’s like you’ve never left

Your presence makes it brighter

Our humors intertwine

You taught me how to wonder

You let me see you cry

If only times were different

& I didn’t live so blind

I picture endless laughter

A peaceful love so right

We’re living different lives now

Summer only lasts so long

I’ll miss our times together

& wish you hadn’t moved along

We’ve tread the line so gently

Our shadows never touched

I’ve played this game too cautious

Swearing friendship was enough

But you’ll always be my baseline

You’ve set the bar so high

Perhaps the feeling’s mutual

But by now… it’s too late to try
