Thought you might have been

I thought you were the One
and I would run these miles down
for a night beside you
even only one

I thought you were the One
and I would face four months
absent from your physical presence
to have you constantly within my heart

I thought you were the One
and I could lay beside you without words
our nights together were about absorbing
as much of you as I could take in my dreams.

I thought you were the One
until I heard you lie
say I didn't mean that much
say it was too far, too hard.

And I know that is not who you are
And I know when you lie and rationalize
And I know that is not who you were
When I thought you were the One.
