Some Love for Me

 Baby, can you find some love for me;
would that be so hard
to take a chance on and see?

I give you my heart, unconditionally,
but its all for naught
if you cannot share yours with me.

I know you, better than you know yourself,
aware of the things you hide behind
a cocky demeanor from everyone else.

By choice, I remain in the peripheral of your life,
giving you the time and space
to discover the truth you need to decide.

I am first and foremost your oldest friend
a passion of your youth, your first,
the one whose love never came to an end.

By some wicked twist of fate
we find ourselves face to face
and discover, that where once there was fire,
ashes remain and all they needed
was a spark to rekindle again.

So why is it, we cannot find
a way to capture that flame,
grow it into a conflagration of passion
that bears the love that once,
long ago, knew our name.  

Please baby, please, can you find
that love again for me;
would it be so impossible, to gamble
on us, on our love and give
our story a new ending?
