Can You See Me?


I saw you from a distance Far away, that I could not reach I can see you But can you see me? I guess we were friends But then a girl I like to call Her Entered our bends She was smart, funny, and pretty Me, I was none of the three You talked about her all the time Coming to me when you had something new to say. I knew you could see But you still never saw me Then, soon I was too late I then supposed you two became long-lasting mates I was pushed aside Letting my little show go on As i stood there on the sidelines But soon later, She broke your heart for a boy named James Frazier Who didn't even like her You said you didn't care But I knew there was something there No one cared But me And still you didn't look at me You couldn't even see me But, 45 minutes later, she called and saidshe was sorry and that she loved you And you took her back Just like that Now, you see That killed me More than it didwhen you called me those names With a girl named with the letter K I tried to not let it be known, but I think you saw through me. That was the only time you every really saw me Even if it was for only moments in time I think you saw the true me But you looked away, like you always did when youstarted to catch a glimmer of me But the following week, you two broke apart Becoming two individuals Instead of one Irejoiced with friends that you were finally free So after reading this, my dear Devin I have few questions How do you feel? Can you see me? The true Emily.

<p>So personal.... I don't usually see the specifics, but I could feel the emotion.</p>
