LOVING YOU WASN'T ENOUGH...by talile ali
You always ask me what I want
As if loving you was not enough
You always act like you need to give in
When i never asked you for any stuff
I don't know what life thru at you
But i can tell you here and now
That i will be an ear for you
And i will hold your towel
I only wanted your friendship
It is all I really wanted it to be
I never tried to hit upon you
Or tried to get you in bed with me
I never touched or stroked you
Because i did not wish to offend
You are very near and dear to me
I had hoped you would be a life friend
But the love for you and me got in the way
And moms designs and intentions got misplaced
So know that i only wanted
To see you happy and free
And if I could help in anyway
I wanted to with all I could be
But i could not go on deceiving you
And hide in the shadows ashamed
Because the needs of others
Supersede what was yours to claim.
