what will it take to make you see
there is nothing i wouldn't do, nowhere i wouldn't go
if it meant you being here with me
the best of friends you and i
somewhere along the way something more began to bloom
hiding behind a wall of denial watching others be where i long to be
still you sensed nothing
night after night tears spill onto my pillow
oh how i love you so
the only one to help me up when i have fallen
to dry every last tear
the only glimmer of hope in a world of darkness
oh how i love you so
fearing you would run i do all i can
to keep these feelings at bay
the battle continues still to this day
oh how i love you so
hating others who enter your life
so afraid of you being hurt
the facade of having nothing more than friendship continues
watching as the rest come and go praying your heart will not be broken
i wait, how long? that is unknown
only as long as it takes you to realize,
all these years i have always loved you so




A dedication to a wonderful man who has been like a father to me for years i wish he knew how much my mom and i love and need him
