Strain of My Loving Soul

Loving you is continuous pain
Unreciprocated Love is a mental drain

The thoughts of what if? When? How? And Maybe
It’s enough to drive the insane crazy

I need to lose this self destruction on which I dwell
I’m living a nightmare, my very own hell

I can’t find anyone to compare with you
You’re my best friend, my soul mate
My love for you is true

I know you have things to discover
 And life lessons to learn
This waiting game I play is a persistent burn

There must be a time when I can move on
And show I’ve put right where once was wrong

You may or may not regret what we could have had
But I know you so well that you will never be sad

A true beauty like you will never be alone
I just hope he’s a better man than me 
To take me off my throne

When you find someone new
I really don’t know what I would do
Paranoia and jealousy
I know just what I would put myself through

But one thing I know I will still be loving you
