Half Loved

I wanted to stay here for years

But my presence is becoming so annoying

That\'s my perception from the look of things

I don\'t want to keep troubling my best friend

 

You know I love him so very much

That it hurts me when he is sad

Looking troubled and lacking peace

Had you be me you would have felt it

 

I feel like I have become a thorn in his flesh

A stumbling block in his path to destiny

Everytime he looks at me such a reproaching gaze

I tell you it wasn\'t like this in the beginning

 

I feel like he don\'t love me anymore

Like I mean nothing at all

I was his confidant he could be open with me

He would have told me about this misleading gestures

 

                        ********

You know I love her so -very much

That I look ill when she is not fine

She been acting strange like a stranger

Sometimes not responding when I\'m asking

 

The way she is looking the message is clear

She is tired with me I don\'t mean anything now

Yet we would have talked this aloud

At least to free each other from wild thoughts
