A Friend Not Just a Lover


Might not be like every guy I talk to 
But you hugged me like you knew
You understood my pain
You laughed with me
Made me realize I'm strong 
On my own or with you
You made me calm
It's like you knew ever button to press
I gave no instructions or manual 
It's like you already had the master plan
To understand me
You may not stay 
You might leave me
But I appreciated every moment 
Every ounce you gave to me 
Because my heart was all over the place
After I let a man hold my treasure
And I tried to keep it together 
And yes I fell deep for you
But I was hurt
And you tasted like a new dessert 
That I wanted to keep trying
But you told to relax and just 
Chill
And hopefully everything will reveal in due time
But thank for fooling with me 
and keeping me company 
Because I found a friend 
To be cool with 
And let him hit for a bit
