years have gone by with no confrontation

stuck by ourselves without realization

but that's when I met him the boy lost in time

things were just perfect he was calling me "mine"

but when thoughts set in and gripped my heart

that's when all the doubting took start

does he still want me? does he still care?

my jealousy became something I couldn't bare

I prayed to a god I didn't believe in

asking nothing more than my love to be saved

for my fears to be taken and forgotten from life

but the boy that I loved was still lost in time

ages apart but still perfectly paired

I looked to the heavens knowing it was unfair

we were told our love not meant to be

but we continued to fight

and I loved that he fought for me

I was in love with the boy lost in time

but he was not a boy he was a man

a man with a past even I was scared would return

especially when I saw the devils presence occur

I swallowed my pride and asked if he knew

but no answer was given 

my heart torn in two

I was doubting the boy lost in time

and I thought to myself he could never lie

why doubt him when he's why your alive

but there was something else 

something hidden deep 

was the devil the purpose I was crying in my sleep

why did I need you the boy lost in time

then as I wrote my feelings 

crying on the page

I realized this poem had begun to take shape

it twisted and changed an it told a tale

of a boy lost in time 

and a love struck girl
