aving him

Well, here we are
trying to become friends
i think it’s hard for the both of us
maybe we both ache deep inside
but i know you
you’re just like me
and you’re burning
and i can see it in your eyes
only I’ve learned to hide it better
isn’t it funny how things were so great
for such a long time
and we let ourselves lose
let ourselves
our srong us
not handle something
we didn’t try hard enough
i took the blame
it always happened that way
but i was alright with it
because i loved you so dearly
i remember everything i treasured about you
i see more of it now
now that i know it’s not mine
i watch your smiles
those silly movements of your gangly body
everything i loved and lost

i called you today
you hurt me again
even away from me, you’re good at it
i think this kind of stuff happens when you let someone mean too much to you
but I’m glad you become that important to me
even as we're parting
I’m glad i was lucky enough
to have met the greatest person
who has made the best impact on my life
and i can say i was lucky enough to have kissed him
held his hand
and be loved by him
