Giving Up

You don't need me and
I don't need you
So why are we standing here
Alone in this room

I realize now that
Our love was a lie
Now when I look at pictures of you
Instead of smiling, I cry

Why the game of cat and mouse
When you could have just said no?
If you knew what you wanted then
Why do I feel so slow?

I'm gonna do what I can
To be strong and walk away
Because the truth is
I have nothing left to say

Love Slips Away

A wish unrevealed
A feeling lost forever
Will make love
An unlikely endeavor

The days pass
But the memories keep coming back
To say I can move on
Is a skill I lack

The days, joyful
Nights, warm
A feeling of uneasiness
Could instantly be transformed

Some changes
I've had to make
But going through life alone
Is a path I hope not to take

Friend to Friend

Let's go against the crowd
And talk for a while

You forgot you had someone
Who would sit and listen

Despite the teasing from our peers
Let's talk about our problems and fears

Today I am your true friend
Who will not argue or offend

Tell me your thoughts
And I will try my best
To comfort you
With or without request

Put aside any mixed feelings you may have
Because I am on your side
I will come out of the dark
When everyone else seems to hide

I am here to tell you
That I really do care
And I'll be glad to listen
As you talk and share


  

One Last Chance

So many things I want to tell you

All the thoughts keep somersaulting through my head

I don’t know how to articulate them all very clearly

So I’ll write them here, and hopefully you’ll understand everything I’ve said

I want you to know that to me

Love is a strong word

Not many people get to hear it

But I knew once I said it to you, it was going to be the most honest thing

You had ever heard

I may have tried to move on

Tried to pursue a love like yours with other men

But the more I looked

I realized that I love you just as much now as I did then

I want to know

If what we have is real

Or if I should stop entertaining the idea

That you’re ready to seal the deal

I want a man by my side

A partner in crime

If I can’t count on you to be there for me

Then I’m afraid we’ve run out of time
