Gone For Fifteen Years

Published by Family Friend Poems June 2006 with permission of the Author.

There were times that I used to cry because I didn't think that I belonged.
There were times that the days passed by and for your love I longed.
I didn't even know you;
You've been out of my life for fifteen years.

I knew you were out there but I didn't quite know where.
The longing in my heart started to become too much to bear.
Years passed by and I didn't think you cared.

Did you ever walk down the street and watch every kid pass by?
Did you wonder if one of those kids was me?
Would you stay up late and cry and think to yourself, why?

I knew in my heart I would find you someday.
I knew I would find you some way.

Two days ago I did find you and my life changed.
For so long I've lived in strife,
But somehow you changed my life.

When my mom told me she found you I couldn't hold back the tears,
I just cried and worried about my fears.
The fear of rejection lingered in the air.
Hoping and praying that you knew I cared.

When I heard your voice on the other end of the phone,
At that moment I no longer felt alone.
