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?

With love there is no riding off into the sunset. It's usually much more complicated than that. Wonderful, heartfelt write.

[Jeremy Baker]

Unusual message but an engaging read nonetheless.

"I had to hurt someone for you" - Sometimes, this really happens...
Very enjoyable poem to read...♥ it...The flow from one line to another is really nice and quite surrounded by a deep emotion... :)))

[Raven Starhawk]

The direction this flows is one I think most of us can relate to. I mean from time to time we all encounter this and I enjoyed reading this although its touch of angst gave it a extra special flavor.

I love how the words flow the emotion from line to line with a great deal of awkwardness and uncertainty about things whilst being certain about the issue that lies in hand.

I like the flow of this, A LOT. Kind of sounds like a song, honestly. I loved the way things went after you said, "Only reason it's not over yet", those lines after you said that got really intense and capturing. Awesome poem!!
