then and now

she never noticed when i wasn't there
confessed her love but didn't care
she never said when i came in..
"missed ya babe, how ya been?"
she never smiled when on my arm
seemed immune to my every charm
she never kissed me where folk could see
i don't think she ever really loved me

and yet when she walked out as my girl
my brain and heart danced in a whirl
and now that she's no longer here
it seems as if life holds no cheer
walking alone with no-one to share
my thoughts or dreams, bright and fair
it matters not that it was never said
where once it lay now hope is dead
