I Could Be the Girl For You

I would never dream of depriving you Of the happiness you have found; He's not like all the others and for this I'm ironically thankful For a smile is a smile and yours Will always paint itself on my face, But should you ever feel incomplete You're the only one I have patience for and I'd be your best friend once more, Should you ever need a familiar hand to guide you through, then I could be the girl for you. Though I haven't a lifetime of experience, I have an understanding of you and listen to your troubles, Hold you until I've absorbed all your worries and Let you leave lightly. And so long as I'm around There will be no struggles for you, However, it's hard for a girl To be a gentleman But I'll take your bags in my weak but willing arms Just to see you stroll freely by my side, Then those days when our eyes meet, The secrets we both know we're thinking of Exist again, and your lips brush mine, They will not be so rare, and in the Surreal delight, I'm thinking I could be the girl for you. No, I'm not the best around people, But for you I talk and laugh and it becomes a strain which I detest. You glance at me, knowing what I'm putting myself through for you And your mouth twitches; you're not sure how to feel, It's times like this I wish that we could kiss Like a regular, natural thing Not some circumstance to agonise over, But that's the way it is, and I watch you Leave with him. You look softly back and catch me thinking, I could be the girl for you. Do you hear my dreaming? Surely I could tell Because, well, I can always tell But you're gone now. So here I am back home again, Another love poem you'll never read Yet I feel somehow you can sense the words piercing my mind The way I train my eyes on you and yet Look down, afraid you're working it out, Lord knows what this is; well, actually One definition lurks in the grey area, Impossible. And as the time flies, men come and go, I pick you up when they throw you down With no recognition of the wonder you are, Your tears sting my heart whilst your laughter makes it soar, There'll be other guys and I'll see you through them all, Rainy days and magical nights; All this will I do for you because although I could be the girl for you, That would be too simple, and so The harsh fact remains, though I'll admit it timidly; You will always be The only girl for me.
