My Platonic Love, 2
I’ve really missed you
I know I’m not around much
Things are just so busy
And I know,
Lately I’ve only used you as a crutch.
A lot has happened since you’ve left
Heartbreak, suffering, and much more pain.
And all for what? Just personal gain.
He’s gone from my life,
And you’re all I’ve got that’s keeping me here.
All this internal, yet external strife.
You’ll leave me like him, is all I fear...
My Platonic Love
Is just my way
Of getting through these long drawn days.
But it’s not the same
And I’m the one
Must take the blame
I need your careful hug
And a smile to brighten my day,
Lift the fog,
And get rid of the haze.
I call your name
With not a reply
But what did I expect?
When I yelled to the sky.
A tear, I feel
Falls down my face
My lips seal,
I won’t leave a trace.
I won’t say what you mean to me
Won’t let you have that key,
Once he gives it back to me.
My love, I fear
Will soon be gone
I dare you, slam the door
Just move on
But still,
My Platonic Love
Is who I need
When fear is all I see before me.
