For years, I’ve thought it’s been love, but I’ll never be more than her friend
But that’s alright by me, because to every need, desire and request she makes known to me, I will attend
When hardships have invaded her life, she has talked to me, and her heart, I have tried to mend
She’s strong enough to not need me, but she’s never hesitated to still on me at times depend
It may not be all I want, but it is all I require
She will have everything she needs, that is what is important as to what I desire
She turns to me when she needs someone to talk to, when she needs help, that is enough for me to aspire
Even so, thinking about it sometimes puts my head on fire
It has made me feel confused before
I just wish I could feel what she feels so I could be at peace as to why she does not want more
Would knowing, would feeling, make my heart any less sore?
Damned be it, regardless, there is still nothing, her, I would not do for
I don’t feel like I deserve more by anything I’ve done
Yet, can she not to me for anything run?
But it’s enough that she does, doing everything I can to take care of her is enough to make me feel like I’ve won
But at the same time, I haven’t scored number one
All I need, is for her to be alright
And I’m content knowing she will be, because she turns to me to help her fight
When she needs the help in any plight
But I want more, and this confused desire is still keeping me awake tonight
