Once a Friend, Always a Friend
I havent touched another since you
Your busy, but to me... time isnt a factor
I havent kissed another since you
Just to show... you are the one that matters
We have had fun times
Along with crazy experiences
Yet the genuineness in your heart showed me the sign
The sign of what I wanted
Also what I deserved
We couldnt make it work
I was a little to much work
But I'll never forget all the sweet words which came out of your mouth
Tenderness came out of your soul
None of my secrets left your mouth
I'll always be here for you, I hope you know
Your actions are rare as can be found
Learning to trust, in you I found
Unconditionally there
Sad, happy, depressed, anxious, you were still there
So when it got hard, I wish you didnt disappear
The friend I never had
The friend I needed
Made me believe I can and I will succeed
Opened my eyes to a whole new world
I hate that I pushed you away
I truly thought you were strong enough to deal with my flaws and all
I thought you would be the one to stay
Gave up so easily
See the bad
Do you notice any good in me?
Sweet texts
Midnight "im thinking of you" shows up on my phone
Forehead kisses
Made me feel I wasnt alone
Thoughts, words of romance and dates...flowers and chocolates
The dates never came
But how sweet, the thoughts of you wanting to remained
I often wonder. ..
Do you think of me like I think of you?
Does any part of you miss me?
I often wonder. ..
Why couldn't I rewind time and start over
Why wasnt I good enough
And why did I have to meet the perfect person at most imperfectly wrong time
I miss the way we talked
The sweet things we both said
I miss being in your arms
Feeling safe with you
I thought since I was honest in the beginning you would understand
When time came down to it you just wasn't a strong enough man
You cant handle me
Yet you ignored how good I would've treated you
Time has passed
But always know,
our friendship will always last.
Months without a single word
When that word is spoken I will be there
Not because im waiting
Not because im weak
Yet, because im a real friend
Truly genuine
When you are ready to let me in, dont think you cant because we havent talked
Know that you can because we talked enough for you to know the real me
Someone that cares and sees deep beneath
Someone who will always be around
Even when the friendship feels its no longer around
