Half of me
A feeling, old feeling, causing discontent,
A feeling I have, that makes me lament,
Locked is my heart of drying cement.
A feeling that I’m not meant to vent,
Only to repent.
I’m sorry I feel this way,
It means that I can’t stay,
For these feelings I cannot sway,
So I cannot say,
How I feel today.
I want to tell you all you are,
Is a shining golden, falling star,
That burns through my atmosphere,
All I want is for you to be here,
I want to hold you so near.
I want you to see me for more than you do,
I want to kiss you, and be with you.
But I’m just a girl, a friend.
She’s who you’ll love until the end.
I’m nothing, nothing, but a friend.
I want to make you feel passion beyond compare,
I want you to care.
My feelings; I want to share…
But that’s not right,
I’m not meant to hold you tight.
For you’ll never notice me…
So this is the half you’ll see.

Half of me
A feeling, old feeling, causing discontent,
A feeling I have, that makes me lament,
Locked is my heart of drying cement.
A feeling that I’m not meant to vent,
Only to repent.
I’m sorry I feel this way,
It means that I can’t stay,
For these feelings I cannot sway,
So I cannot say,
How I feel today.
I want to tell you all you are,
Is a shining golden, falling star,
That burns through my atmosphere,
All I want is for you to be here,
I want to hold you so near.
I want you to see me for more than you do,
I want to kiss you, and be with you.
But I’m just a girl, a friend.
She’s who you’ll love until the end.
I’m nothing, nothing, but a friend.
I want to make you feel passion beyond compare,
I want you to care.
My feelings; I want to share…
But that’s not right,
I’m not meant to hold you tight.
For you’ll never notice me…
So this is the half you’ll see.
For Lenny.
