Outside your door...

I stood outside your doorway
Anticipation in my heart
You were on the other side
It seemed two worlds apart
Your head upon the door frame
The door knob in your hand
You longed so much to let me in
But thought I didn't understand
I stood outside your doorway
Wondering if I should just go
I thought of all the days gone by
And all I wanted you to know
There hadn't been a moment
That you'd been off my mind
And all the happy memories
That seemed forever lost in time
I stood outside your doorway
And softly called your name
Wondering if you'd even hear me
Or if my voice would sound the same
Inside you stood in silence
A tear fell from your eye
And quickly then you caught your breath
You felt you should not cry
I stood outside your doorway
With my hand upon your door
Then pulled out what I had brought for you
And placed it on the floor
With that I turned and gathered
All my thoughts held deep within
I knew it wouldn't be this time
That you would let me in
You stood behind your doorway
Hidden safe within your pride
You didn't want me to see in you
The pain held in your eyes
I whispered I was leaving
And slowly walked away
Carried with me words unspoken
There's some things you just can't say
You waited several moments
As I disappeared into the dark
Then slowly opened up the door
And saw I had left my heart
I wanted you to have it
You need it more than me
And after all it had been filled inside
With all the love you'd given me
