I can't stay


I listen to you

I trusted you

I care for your well being

I want to be your friend

I want you to be honest with me

I respected you

I want to tell you everything

I long to see the glint in your eyes

the look you get when you see me

I am thinking about you

 

But you won't listen to me

you don't trust me with you thoughts

you don't care how I feel

you ignore me

you lie, all the time

you are selfish in your wants

you're never happy

 

I can't stay here

you don't care about me

I don't belong here

your temper does

you can not have both

I want some one to treat me right

someone that feels the way I do

 

Someone who listens to me

Someone who trusts me

Someone who cares for my well being

Someone who wants to be my best friend

Someone who is honest with me

Someone who respects me

I want to tell him everything

I long to see the glint in his eyes

the look you get when he sees me

I am leaving you in search of him

 

The person who I can call

no matter what or when

who thinks that I am interesting

who pays attention to me

he is not embarrassed of me in public

he introduces me to his friends

he wants to meet my family

even though I have told him crazy stories

who wants to see me happy

he supports me just as I support him

 

I know he is out there because

my heart says that he is

and he is looking for me too

I believe that I will find him

Someday somewhere

We will meet

it won't be instant

but something will be there

 

Goodbye, and have a nice life

you don't deserve me anyway.

I am off.
