The Other You

Be My Cure

It started with a text message,
About that girl you vowed you loved.
You kept me up for hours,
Trying to get me to help you be loved.

But a couple months flew by,
And I saw you in a different light,
The boy who was once a friend,
Was now handsome and bright.

I carried on believing,
Thinking you saw me as just your friend,
Till I saw those three words,
You'd said "I love you" then pressed send.

My heart fluttered and I fell,
Deeper for you,
And soon I said those three words back,
I love you.

You asked me to be your girlfriend,
And my heart leapt with glee,
Until I suddenly realised,
It surely cannot be.

"I'll wait for you" you said,
And we agreed on June,
They you bid me goodnight,
And said those words to make me swoon.

Now I wait patiently as months go by,
One month,
Two months,
I'm slowly asking why.

Why you fell for a girl,
Who was broken and down,
Who wasn't skinny or perfect,
But tried so hard to never frown.

Why me of all people,
Why you of all people,
I shouldn't love you but I do,
And it's hurts so much that I can't see you.

I want to hug you,
Kiss you and lay with you through out the night,
But I can't,
Because our love is a secret that we have to hide and fight.

But one day I will show you,
How much you mean to me,
How I love your tallness,
And you're so carefree.

I love your insecurities,
And everything you hate about yourself,
Because that's what makes you, you,
But I hate how you'd talk so lightly about killing oneself.

I know that you struggle,
And I know I don't understand,
But it'd hurt me and kill me,
If you were no longer on this land.

I just want you to know that I'll always be here,
If you need me just call,
Because I'll answer in a heartbeat,
To make sure you never fall.

But I need you to know how I feel,
How sad and depressed I feel,
And how sometimes I really need you,
To take away the tears and help my wounds heal.

Because I'm not some perfect girl,
Who has a great life and body,
I'm an insecure failure,
Who cries because she feels she has nobody.

Please help me stop this pain,
And I'll help you stop yours,
I love you so much,
So be my medicine and I'll be your cure.
