Bestfriend

You knock on my door in the middle of the night I let you in and you hug me tight You cry in front of me and tell me you’re over I tell you it’s okay, you lay your head on my shoulder Things have always been this way You come to me and I make you feel okay I’ve always been there to give you a hand Coz I’m, as you always say, your “friend” You tell me the things the two of you do You say how much she really means to you I listen whole-heartedly with a smile on my face Although secretly, I’m wishing it was me in her place You inform me when you and her go out on a date And you whimper about her coming in a little late I’ve always wondered what is it she has as a plus When I know I can always love you better than she does You tell me everytime the two of you kiss You count the things she has that you miss I just listen, coz I know there’s nothing else I can do But secretly dream I am that one with you… You asked me how much you mean to me I answered you with not-so-pure honesty I told you I’d be happy wherever you may be But I’m not, coz you’re happy with her, not with me… You told me you found out her love wasn’t real And I cried coz I knew how betrayed you feel I can’t do anything but give you a light back pat As I secretly whisper “I won’t hurt you like that…” And now, for the zillionth time, you’re coming to me Telling me you love her but you’re setting her free Listen, coz I’ve been dying to ask this one thing in my head Don’t you see that I love you; can’t you just love me instead?
