Desperate Promises

And it's crazy



When that moment comes,



And you realize, that you're constantly



Left wondering



About the "could have beens"



Because you just miss them, that much.







I know that you..



You're not supposed to be mine.



And yet, at odd little moments



When I least expect it,



You're the one that ..



I wish I could be with.







It doesn't matter



That we just aren't good together—



Hell, half the time



We can barely manage being friends.







So tell me, what's the point?



Why am I greedy enough



To be left, always wanting something more?







We'll never be able to make it work.







But there's a part of me



That needs to have you in my life—



Just as bad as I need to breathe.







A reckless infatuation



Is all I have to offer.



And I know that it won't ever be enough



For what we both really need.







But promise me something anyway.







In those odd little moments,



When you've stolen my breath



And left me aching for the impossible..







Promise, in that desperate time of need,



I can have you as my everything



Even if it means nothing at all



In the end.
