**disclaimer** this is just kinda to get about three years of frustrations out… its not exactly a poem, but bear with me…. I mean every word.

I’ve asked myself time after time why I’m not the one you want, and this is all that I can come up with…

I may not be as beautiful as the girls that you’re used to

I’m probably not the funniest, but what I say is true

You’ve had my heart since the day we met

It’s been years, and many tears, but still you don’t understand

I’d make the world stop turning for the opportunity to hold your hand

I’d give up everything I have – stuff I know I’d miss

For one – just one – tiny little kiss

I really don’t want to scare you, because we’re such good friends

But right here and now – this is where my silence ends

I’ve waited for so long to tell you, hoping time would open your eyes

Now I realize that I’ve just hurt myself immensely piling on the lies

The lies weren’t meant to hurt you – but they kept my secret safe

You say I’m an amazing person, that I’m an awesome friend

But for me – that’s not enough. What’s going to happen? It depends

I’ve been quiet and appreciative for so very long

And now, I can’t keep lying because it seems too wrong

If I can do and say things right, I’ll be proud of myself

Maybe, just maybe, telling you will help

People say that we’d go well together, but you don’t even care

All of this goes back to a game of truth or dare

All I’m saying is that I don’t know what to do

The only opinion that matters to me is the one that comes from you

I’m not asking you to marry me, or anything like that

I just want a chance, and I hope you’ll give that to me

Just a chance – a single chance, and then I think that I can be happy
