I wish I could tell you
I wish I could say
I don't want you
any other way
I'm glad we met
For now
Just friends.
Those words
you utter again
I swear I heard you say it
For a slight second
You didn't stop yourself
But you probably regret it
I know you said it
I know you did
In that brief little moment
I heard it part from your lips
You can't take it back
Did you mean it?
I really hope you did
Just sitting here now
My limbs go limp
My hearts racing inside my chest
****** where's my bullet proof vest?
My heart can't take it anymore
I feel sick to my stomach
and so much more
I guess I can't really say
How love is suppose to feel
I've had many lovers
But none of them real
Not until you came along
and showed me how to feel again.
Now I just want to breathe again
I'm a fisherman without a reel
I'll starve you know, real soon here.
I can't just stand here waiting
for you to show me how you feel
Well I guess I just got my answer
Now and here.
In the middle of this poem, how sincere.
It's funny how life throws you sticks and stones.
You can break and you can break my bones
But my heart will remain open.
Sometimes it may get broken
But I'll remain hopeful.
