Friends

Friends, the people who make it so easy to live on earth
to survive depression, anxiety, and an eating disorder
those who share all your thoughts
but fail to run for lack of desire

friends are an important part of life
but, I think lovers can be fair more significant
I want to be your lover
I have too many friends who aren't real, i don't desire anymore

what am i to you
do you feel that all the time we spend together is in friendship
do you kiss your friends
do you cuddle with your friends

when you told me you still loved me, my heart jumped
my soul ached to be reunited with you
but what am i to you
there are times when you test me too far

i understand that you are confused
but help me understand
let me know what you want
even if you only know that you want me

you want me in your life
you don't want me to ever leave you
then how is it hard to make a commitment to me when you know this already
how hard is it to ask me to be yours

it's not like i'm not yours already
it's not like you're not mine already
i don't have the desire for anyone else
and neither do you

what's keeping us in this stage
except, your other friends receive hugs from you so freely
and i am made to stand in line
to prove my loyalty, allegiance to you

when will this end
when will you grow up and take responsibility for your feelings for me
wake up
before you lose one of the best things in life that you've ever had

you may not have been dealt the best hand in life
but you've been given someone who will do the best they can to bring you sunshine
someone who would walk through fire for you
and only ask for love in return

friends don't do this for one another
friends don't share the love we share for each other
so here it is....either take me as your partner
or lose me as your friend forever

because i'm more than a friend
you depend on me like a girlfriend, a mother, and a wife
don't take that for granted
or you may just lose one of the greatest people you've ever known
