You're known by so many,
Understood by so few
Especially her;
She doesn't deserve you.
You worry when she's sick,
Worry when she's sad,
Worry when she's depressed,
Quiet, bitchy, or mad.
She has your whole heart
But doesn't understand
That you need love in return
Though I'm not sure she can
give you all that you need,
or all that she should;
does she even know
all that you would
do for her alone?
How far your love goes?
How devotion like yours
Is like a perfect roseā¦
It needs love and compassion
For it to survive;
She barely gives enough
To keep your spirit alive.
I know that you love her,
and I'm sure she loves you;
and you don't want to hear
what I say, though it's true.
You probably think I'm jealous,
Perhaps I want her place;
But that's not how I feel
And it isn't a race
to see who gets your heart;
though I wished you were mine,
but that's now in the past,
different date, different time.
Right now, I just have
your best interests at heart;
I wish you had known
Right from the start
That she's selfish, she's moody,
She's not what you need;
Not the warmth, love, and kindness
From which you should feed.
So I suppose that I'm sorry
you must hear this from me;
sorry that maybe
you'll never truly see;
Sorry that I care too much
Where I shouldn't, but do,
And I'm sorry you love her
But she doesn't quite love you.
