In our lives,
We must have hope.
But when we realise our love is fading,
You find you can’t survive.
For when you want something bad enough,
You hope you will achieve it.
However sometimes it’s not meant for you,
But someone else.
How can this be you ask yourself?
It was only meant for me.
To see you with someone else,
Just breaks my heart in two.
For I sit here and realise,
Realise that I still love you.

You were the one I always wanted.
But your love for me did die.
And like your love for me,
I want to do the same.
I cannot sit back and watch my dream,
Disappear into space.
For the hurt is just too great.
Every time I think of you and her
My heart, it skips a beat and I run out of breath.
It is too hard to fight a battle,
You know you are going to lose.
As losing my hope and faith,
Is something I don’t choose.

I tried to find a card,
To tell you how I feel
To tell you that I care for you,
And what I feel is real.
You are a special person
A friend in every way,
You are a unique individual,
Who I care for more each day.
The moment I first spoke to you
I knew it was to be.
As we sat upon the mountain
And in the stars I could see.
A different kind of sparkle,
A sign from high above.
It floated in the wind,
The message of friendship and love.

So on this very special day,
I just wanted to say
To have heaps of fun
And happy 18th birthday.

N.B – Written for my now husband 🙂

Why is it so hard,
To tell you how I feel,
To tell you that I care for you,
And what I feel is real.

I know that we’ve just met,
And I too thought this was weird,
But from the moment we first spoke,
It was something I feared.
That my feelings for you would grow,
And I’d be too afraid,
To tell you that I like you,
And from me you would fade.

For I don’t claim to be good looking,
And I’m not the brightest in the class,
But the friendship I can offer you,
Is something I hope we can’t surpass.

I fear that if I tell you,
What I try to keep inside,
That our friendship it will cease,
And from me you will hide.

When I look into your blue eyes,
I see the perfect friend,
Yet when I start to look further,
A different message I want to send.

For me it’s not that easy,
To express just how I feel,
For last time I was hurt,
It took a long time for the wound to heel.

Rejection is a loss,
I simply can’t deny,
For it makes me feel as though,
My intuition is all a lie.

So_ _ _ I hope now you can see,
Why I can’t come out and say,
That I’d really like to see you,
As more then just a friend one day.
