"We Tried"
These days my head is filled with “maybe”
I drown myself in questions and self-pity
Questioning my worth, acting all sad and broken
Maybe friends are all we can ever be
Maybe it just wasn't meant to be
I tell myself that everything means nothing
Since I don't want to expect something that isn't there
I build a hill between us to prevent myself from crossing
I did my best to make my heart and mind understand
I am not special, I have never been special to you
But your actions after the tragedy makes me want to believe
I ask myself questions that would break me if I hear the answer
“Maybe” became my language and I found comfort in them
Maybe somewhere along our journey you fell too
Maybe for a second you loved my smile
Maybe for a short time I visited your dream
Maybe at least once I bothered your silent mind
Maybe I made some of those butterflies flew too
Maybe your heart once beat for me
Maybe you were just shy to admit it
Maybe you are just afraid to fall
Maybe you just didn't want our friendship to end
Because we are good at being friends
It's safer to do something you are already good at
Than risking your heart on something that might not last
And I understand because I have that fear too
Maybe you were also fighting your tears
Well I hope you cry so I know the love was addressed to me
Maybe I'm not the only broken glass in here
Maybe you loved me too, you just didn't know it yet
Maybe someday I'll get the answer to these questions
But I wish you tried like I did
What could've happened if we gave it a try?
Or maybe you tried to love me but failed
You tried to reciprocate the feelings but you're not a liar
Maybe you can't just fool yourself
Maybe you're not that good of a liar too
I know this poem should be entitled "MAYBE"
Since I filled this one with that word
But I want to emphasize something that keeps me going
You tried. I tried. We tried.
Maybe that is enough
Maybe this is the maximum of what we can reach
Forcing it will just make the ship we built sink
So don't feel bad about it
You and I could cry but don't be guilty
I just loved you and you just stay true to yourself
We might become a needle in each other's hearts
We might have lost this battle but at least we tried.
