Perhaps Poem by Danny Speicher

My dear, you'd be so proud of me, I think
I rarely think longingly upon you
Wishing the sleep to end and dreams come true
Rarely being at that teary-eyed brink

I suppose they'd all say I'm over you
After all I don't cry for us these days
And once again my lips ring forth God's praise
I suppose their observations are true

I suppose I'm truly over my dream
Of loving only you for forever
And of leaving your side never ever
Perhaps our love wasn't all that it seemed

Perhaps I am over your sudden flight
That is, of course, except nights like tonight

Perhaps it's the near full moon high above
The still night air whispering in my ear
With the stars shining so bright and so clear
Perhaps just Fall reminds me of your love

Where cool breezes blow 'cross this broken road
Gently bringing memories from the north
Of our weekends together and so forth
Perhaps my heart still holds this heavy load

Perhaps you're entirely over me
And, I suppose it's for the best you are
I would never find healing for these scars
Apart we will both, much happier, be

Perhaps, over me, you've always have been
But would one question be, to you, a sin?

Do you e'er think of me on nights like these?
Where the stars we once watched twinkle above
How in those moments we were so in love
All in the midst of this Northwestern breeze

Do you find yourself wondering at all
What might have become of us in the end
If all of our problems we would transcend
Do you e'er miss me? Do you e'er recall?

Perhaps you don't miss me as I miss you
But, if you do and want to honor me
Don't hesitate to be all you can be
And know I'll be proud of you if you do

If you ever think of me and miss me
Honor me and be all that you can be
