This Is For You

All I ever want to do
Is think about, “What if,” with you
I know that you’re too good for me
I almost don’t want to wait and see
I know that one day, you’ll come around
And I’m not strong enough to get let down
I am crazy, controlling, and out of my mind
But you my fine friend are a one of a kind
You say that you’re stubborn
Just an arrogant ass
But since I have known you
You’ve done everything I’ve asked
You’re an all around good guy
That anyone should want
To think you’d choose me
Is it I that you taunt?	
I know that I’m not all you deserve
And so it’s my heart in which I try to conserve
Putting aside how I may feel for you
There would be many obstacles for us to go though
And I know that one day you will need to be free
And that probably means not keeping me
But because this is for you not me
I will wait around to see
If there is a way for, “us,” to be

"I know that you’re too good for me I almost don’t want to wait and see"- Never, my friend, never think like that. This poem was absolutely beautiful...but never degrade yourself...never. If you two are meant to be... it will happen. Believe me. I felt the same way about a guy, took 10 years... but I married him. I married him as soon as I learned I was just as good as he and dropped all insecurity.

You commented on my poem---kindhearted...I do dream of someone like that but doesn't mean I have someone, like that. I strive to be better than I am but I fall short too.
