I could never love you,
the way you needed to be loved
I could never see past,
your guise of "friendship"
But you were always there,
to wipe away virtual tears...
It was my fault..
I kept you at a distance.
I could never hold you,
the way you needed to be held
My arms could only, simply
hug you
And though now I'm the one,
you keep at a distance,
my heart never resents,
just, simply, loves you
I could never look at you
the way you looked at me,
I could never understand,
the love that filled your eyes, to
the rim
and when you blinked away my faults,
filling me with a haloed light,
I took flight, & hurt you again
I could never be, the friend you needed
despite your agony, and the ways you pleaded
I know that this, will not leave you defeated
& it will only make you stronger,
even if you can't see it.
I believe in you.
