I'm Happy For You

More then the shinning stars adore the round moon
More then the salty ocean and it's beautiful tune
More then the pure snow and it's following winter
More then elaborate stories and excited whispers
More then the birds that sing in the morning
More then the books that keep me yearning
More then all the words I've ever written
As you can see, I am quite smitten
I love him more then he'll ever know
More then I'll ever get the chance to show
But I'll stand aside, look him square in the eye
Fake a smile, and tell the half lie
"I'm happy for you"
I'm sorry it's only half true
As your best friend, I should be there for you
And I will, till the very end
But I can't say it didn't hurt
That selfish thoughts don't lurk
That I didn't cry a time or two
That I hadn't lied and choose to hide from you
But don't you worry!
I'm smiling you see!
Even if behind my eyes, I'm hiding certain misery
It'll take some time
But this is the way it should be
Just promise that she'll be better then me
That she'll say good-morning everyday
That she'll ask about your dreams
(Though you don't remember them either way)
That after school, she'll ask about your day
Not accepting 'It was okay'
That she'll know exactly when something is wrong
That she'll bug you about it until you scream
 For her to shut up but you sigh with defeat
That she'll treasure every single word you say
Lock it up inside and throw the key away
That she'll listen to you when you rant
That she'll coax you down and say everything will turn out just fine
That she'll make you laugh
That she'll make you smile
And notice all the small things that are worth while
Like the way you never sleep in past 8
Like the way your crooked smile never shows teeth
Like the way you're stubborn as f**k
Like the way you're such an akward klutz
Like the way you say 'Um' before speaking
Like the way you tie your hair before composing
Like the way your eyes light up sometimes
And you get to see some of the fiery passion inside
The way you procrastinate and are kind of lazy
The way you act kind of loopy when your head feels hazy
Like the way you put yourself down
And are like rolling a boulder up a steep hill
Just a few of the silly little things, there's so much more
If she notices these and loves them truly
I deem her worthy of you
Of the person I've given all my secrets to
Of the person who's always been true
Of the person I used to go to whenever tears struck me
Of the person I ran to whenever I was lonely
Of the person who's been there through the happy and the sad
Of the first person I've ever told about my step dad
I can only give you my everything
So with me on the side, spread your wings
I'll watch you fly
And I'll keep on saying
"I'm happy for you"
Until my feeling die
And I can say with pride
"I give up on you"
