A Poet

I once wrote a rhyme for you
I meant it with my heart
but sometimes when paths cross
they are meant to split apart

(chorus)
If something ever happens to your love
if your love goes away
maybe you can fall in love again with a poet someday

I once believed that love was true
if I could see it with my eyes
but I’ve been wrong enough
to see that was a lie

(chorus)
If something ever happens to your love
if your love goes away
maybe you can fall in love again with a poet someday

(bridge
sometimes endings last forever
and then again they don’t
if you ever change your mind
you won’t have to change alone

(chorus)
If something ever happens to your love
if your love goes away
maybe you can fall in love again with a poet someday

I once wrote a rhyme for you
I meant it with my heart
but sometimes when paths cross
they are meant to split apart
