Without You

All we'll ever be is friends.

This I'm still trying to accept.

It shouldn't be this way.
You should be mine and only mine.
I've wanted to tell you, but I just can't.

You aren't the sweet girl I once knew.
You've turned into a beast.
And there's absolutely nothing I can do.

That night changed everything.
When he told you he loved you,
You abandoned me as if I didn't matter.

Now I'm sitting here alone in the dark,
watching the old you slowly die.
And watching me die too.

This pain lingers around my heart.
I can't live without you.
And you don't even know...

You never seem to notice...
How I cringe when you kiss him.
Or the reason why I despise him.

You never seem to notice...
The way I've protected you.
Or the way I admire you.

And most of all,
You never seem to notice...
The way I love you.

What Is A Friend

A good friend is someone

who care about you

they are someone who will be

there when you're down

A good friend is someone

who's willing to help you

when you are in a little trouble

that's hard to get out

A good friend is someone

who you can talk to

and trust with your problems

in not telling anyone else

A good friend is someone

who will come and stop

you from taking your life

and sit down to show you

all of the good things

to live for

That's What A Good Friend Is

Every time I think of you..

Just how much do I think of you???

If every time I think of you a rose would sprout…
Then in a rose bush would I be walking about
If every time I think of you a grain of sand would form…
Then in a desert would I have wandered forlorn
If every time I think of you a drop of rain would fall…
Then in a flood would I be engulfed
If every time I think of you a tree would grow…
Then a forest would I have to show 
If every time I think of you a drop of water would evaporate…
Then all the seas would be a bed-barren and desolate
If every time I think of you snow would melt…
Then avalanche upon avalanche from snow capped peaks would proceed
If every time I think of you a leaf would fall…
Then we would be in permanent Fall
If every time I think of you a blade of grass would thrive…
Then the land a green carpet, would I contrive

If every time I think of you an sms would I send…
I’m afraid you’d think my head needs a mend
For every minute of the day and night would be accompanied by a beep...
Thereby making it cumbersome for you to sleep…
Then bundle upon bundle would I have to spend…
Knowing that it would be worth it all in the end…
Just to bring that warm glow on your countenance…
Would be worth all the pennies spent..

If every time I think of you would earn me a rand…
Then I would indeed be a very wealthy man
If every time I think of you would cost me a dollar…
Then truly would I be a pauper
But…
A happy one indeed..
Why? you ask almost in distress…
Because it’s the priceless thought of YOU I possess…

I AM HERE

If you need a laugh, I am here.
If you need a hug, I am here.
If you need a shoulder to cry on, I am here.
If you need someone to support you, I am here.
If you need to feel cared for, I am here.
If you need someone to listen, I am here.
If you need to hear that someone loves you, I am here.
If you need to feel wanted, I am here.
If you need to talk, I am here. 
If you need a friend, I am here.

You and Me

I think of you.
I dream of you.
I need you.
I want you.
I feel you.
I see you.
I smell you.
I hear you.
And now that you're not here,
I've realized I don't like you.
I love you.
I can feel your breath on my skin.
I can hear your voice in my head.
I can see your eyes gazing at me.
I can smell the scent of your skin.
I can imagine your heart,
beating in synche with mine,
I wish it was just you and me,
how it used to be.
