After all that time of longing
And begging you to try
I never pictured it would end
With me trying not to cry.
You used to say we'd just be friends
But nothing ever more
You'd argue I wasn't good enough
Then leave me wounded at the door.
But I was patient, stood my ground
And waited for a year
Finally, you took notice of me
and brushed away my fear.
We danced around the friendship
Knowing each felt a little more
That day you finally admitted it
I swear, I felt my heart soar.
But a fool, was I to even believe
That you had really tried
It feels more now as if you only
Wanted a new chance to make me cry.
You waited til it suited you
And laughed, when you told your friend
That you had broken up with me
Dumped my butt again.
The words you sprouted suddenly
Erased the progress we had made
Never before in my life
Did I see dreams so quickly fade.
The nerve, I thought, when you had asked
If friends we could remain
As if nothing ever happened
Did you think I was insane?
You couldn't really expect
Me to say it was alright
That I held no negative feelings to see
You gave in without a fight.
A year I wasted, waiting for you
To see just what we lack
But now, with experience I know
That with time, you always come back.
The question, though, I ask myself
Is will I still be here
The next time you find you're lonely
And wish to hold me near.
I convinced myself, those months ago
You needed time to see
That no one else could love you quite
The way love was with me.
But now I realize that though you
May have been worth the wait
You gave me your answer long ago
I just realized it too late.
See, one in love doesn't need
Time to think it through
And though I patiently stood by
The answer, was granted long ago by you...
This time when you get lonely
And you begin to think of me
I hope that you will realize
This time, I'm truely free.
And begging you to try
