Waiting On You

I'm not looking for a forever, I don't even need a lover

As long as you're my best friend, I'll never need another

We'll call it temporary, and say it's just for now

But we both know this will have to end eventually

We just don't know how

Enjoy the moment you live in, it won't be 'round much longer

I know I'm scared to let this go but it will make me stronger

I push it aside and say it's alright, when we all know it's not

A part of me that you can't see is changing my train of thought

Only reason it's not over yet

Is because of that day you messed with my head

Normally it'd be easy to forget

Now it's my last thought before I go to bed

Because of you, I live in regret

And by this point, I'd rather be dead

Only reason it's not over yet

Is cause I'm afraid I'm killing two instead

If I am the only one that's under my skin

A new wave of doubt will sprout from within

There's so many things from you I have hidden

All of it nothing more than forbidden

So if today you left me

I don't know where I would be

Would you remain a friend

Or become another enemy 

I had to hurt someone for you

Though everyone says he deserves it

If I wanted to make old feelings new

In the end would it be worth it

No one could ever agree with me

How could they know what I want

They say they know what's best, you see

They'd feel nothing more for me than pity

These thoughts of mine, at night they haunt

My friends would think me differently

But do they know me really?

Lovely, just simply lovely.

[Neva Flores Smith - Cha..]

Very interesting poem. It seems so often we do hurt another to move on to a new relationship. We think we know people but do we really? Some live with each other for years and know very little about the person they sleep side by side with. I enjoyed this one.

who doesn't have problems? everyone does, everyone goes through this at some point, great write, the beginning foreshadows the end. It has a great flow, nice work.

It seems this is a cry for help.
Not for love or things, but someone who will
be honest and be your friend.
A very haunting, sad song, a sad song sung and
we who would be friends will have to fnish it .
A beautiful and haunting poem/story.
I would answer all your problems if I could, but
then people would call me god. Just settle for
a decent honest man, friend and God bless you .

friendships like everything else ask much of us. It's hard to give the right kind of love...especially when a tougher love is required. Thanks for this well worded..poem..it flowed well.

Sometime we learn to appreciate the people who are willing to stay with us in the good and bad times.
"Enjoy the moment you live in, it won't be 'round much longer"
I believe we need more friends then lovers. Lovers want too much sometime.
"Would you remain a friend
Or become another enemy "
Some questions are only answered by living and doing our best. I like this poem. Open the door to a good discussion. A excellent poem.
