Love

dedicated to my friend

So many times I tried to think it over
So many times I had an answer
But when I brought it to you
I was too afraid to tell it to you.

I wanted to be your friend
I wanted to help you in your pain
I knew how much you need it
But you were too proud to admit it.

I was able to bring joy to you
I was ready to give up everything for you
I showed you all I could
You took my heart and soul.

I did not ask for too much
I only wanted you to love me
No matter how much you hurt me
No matter how you treated me.

Now, you are gone and I am alone
But I do have something to remember you
A broken heart and broken dreams
A love that could never be.
