I was eight years old when i met you , my best friend you
were wearing a dorky dress your mother picked out
, your hair was much longer that it is now
you have an enticing smile that would make anyones day
eyes that glimmer in any level of ligh
t we would spend hourse speaking of dreams of what we wanted when we grew up
from that moment i knew i would never want to be without you
but i couldnt tell you that out of fear of pushing you away
why cant i love you?
as we got older your beauty grew bolder
and my feelings got stronger
the one thing that didnt change was the amount of time we spent together
i loved those rainy days we'd stay in and watch movies
the way you would rest your head on my shoulder or hearing your adorable laugh at the random scenes
i loved the summer days where we'd go to the lake
the way the sun would make your skin glow
or how your eyes reflected the deep beauty of the water
I love you
why cant i love you?
with these feelings rising threatening to burst out i just had to tell you
but there was something you had to say first
you told me you met someone
i was forced to slowly watch as your hands clenched
then have to listen to every detail of how your lips first met
all i could think was how your hands belonged in mine
why cant i love you?
after months of torture , i remember holding you as you cried
apparently being with only you wasnt good enough for him
im sorry i couldnt protect you
but just know that for every tear that fell , so did a piece of my heart
and that in my arms , no one will hurt you
i cant remember what i said but i got you to smile this was it , i leaned in to kiss you , but you stopped me , saying you could stand to lose me too
why cant i love you?
dont you see you would never lose me because i would never let go of you
from the moment i fell into those accepting blue eyes i knew you were mine
you may think youre an emotional wreck but i can carry you
like a bird with a broke wing stuck on the ground let me mend you , so we can soar let me be the one who shows you true happiness
let me hold your hand
let me help you
let me inside your walls
let me love you
