Confidant

he has always felt alone
his family is broken
his dad is abusive
he only tells one person what he feels
he loves her
he tries to tell her but he can't get it out right

she knows he loves her
she tries to keep it friendly
she's never mean to him
she doesn't realize everything he needs her to be for him
she tell him everything she feels

he's been more distant lately
he knows she needs someone else
he's broken inside
his only confidant has stopped confiding
he feels alone again

she knows she shouldn't ice him out
she does it anyways
she doesn't want anyone to get hurt
she tries to be there, but she stopped talking about the important things
she only talks about casual things now

he doesn't want her to know she's the only one he tells this stuff to
he can't bare the thought of losing her
he wants her to be his
he wants to feel loved or at least cared for
he wants her to care again
he needs her to come back
he needs to tell her everything his dad has done
he needs to say what he's never been able to say
he doesn't know how

she talks about the other guy again
she says that she loves the guy
she says that guy is all she ever wanted
she breaks him down with every moment

he knows he'll never measure up
he gets so torn over friendship and love
he wants to be enough
he doesn't know how to handle it
he can't tell her any of his this
he doesn't know what to do

she hears he's gone
she'll never be the same again
she will always remember the times she had with him
she'll always cherish those moments; when he was still here
