Stripped

To You

My dear, here's my love

Take it as a gift from above

I know you may not be able to give it back

What does she have that I lack?

I wish I was like her

Oh how I wish I was her

But you won't love me for me

But the girl I'm trying to be

It's hard to be unrequited and alone

I don't want to be on my own

For I know my heart yearns for your love

But I'm broke like I have crashed from above

Tell me that I am crazy

For loving you is not easy

I know that I am mad

For clinging to the chance that I never had

Your flaws I have accepted

Your mistakes I have disregarded

Why are people so blind

To the people whose acceptance they will find?

With you it's like a fast pace of night and day

One moment it's fine then the next you shoo me away

There are times when I want to choke you so hard

But then you smile and again I fall hard

Move on, let go, they say

But they don't know how you make my day

Maybe they're right, maybe they're wrong

Maybe I was just being stupid all along

I'm still waiting for the day that you'll realize

What you've given up for rolling the dice

You dare not say my love for you wasn't true

Because if I didn't, I wouldn't waste time writing this poem for you
