Story of My Life

While I'm looking at him
I see you in the corner of my eye
When my thoughts are racing for him
You're in the back of my mind
My friends are speaking for me 
Telling me I like him
Maybe secretly I like you
But who am I to argue with them
Oh here we go again...'Cause I'm
Saying something
And meaning something else
Trying to hide the truth
And only hiding myself
Laughing at times
When maybe I should cry
Being in love with you
And dating some other guy
This is the…
Story of my life
My hand held tightly in his 
But I’m remembering yours
He kisses me slowly
And the memories pour
Of your finger stroking my face
Your breath against my ear
Speaking only with our eyes
In a language only we could hear
Now life feels so austere…’Cause I’m
Saying something
And meaning something else
Trying to hide the truth
And only hiding myself
Giving up at times
When maybe I should try
Being in love with you
And dating some other guy
Story of my life
Right now life
Is messed up from before and after
But if life
Is a story I want you in every chapter
‘Cause I’m
Saying something
And meaning something else
Trying to hide the truth
And only hiding myself
Laughing at times
When maybe I should cry
Being in love with you
And dating some other guy
Story of my life
Yeah you’re the story of my life

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
