What should I do to get you to notice me?
I've known you for ten years now.
I can remember that moment clearly
When we first met in this small town.
I was playing in the sand.
You walked up to me.
You said hello.
I fell in love under the tree.
Many years passed.
We changed a lot.
But my feelings for you
Never changed just as I thought.
We rekindled our romance.
If it could be called that way.
I blurted out that I loved you.
You stopped believing in love that day.
I was always there for you.
Apparently that wasn't enough.
It's really hard to get a non-believer
to again believe in love.
It was really hard to hide.
You've always known how I felt.
With a tiny flicker of hope
And tears in my eyes I left.
We met again a few years later
Your heart was broken at the time.
Loving you was always hard
But it was worth the climb.
We hung out a few times after.
You bought me coffee. I brought us wine.
A few hours of getting drunk later
I repeated the same old line.
I told you I still loved you.
Not much has changed.
This time I was certain.
I wasn't ashamed.
But you still didn't believe me.
You weren't ready yet.
I stopped hoping,
Thought it was time to forget.
But now you still lead me on
And I want to know,
What should I do to get you to notice me?
A question from ten years ago.
