Remind me.


You are just my friend

Nothing more, Nothing less

No relationship to mend

All has been confessed

 

For although I want you

I can't have you

But you have me

And yet you don't want me.

For you are just my friend

 

So in the mundane when I see you

And my heart knows not what to do

Forgive my foolish pretense

That I have had with me ever since

Becoming your friend

 

I know God's will is perfect

Yet I've seen you in my dreams

Truth, I know I've heard it

And it frightens me it seems

 

Can I escape my thinking 

Can I escape my heart

Who's emotions am I drinking 

When I scribble down this art

 

And I am alone and steady

And I know the words to say

My emotions they are ready

To start each and every day

And then I see you

And I am surrounded and shaky

And I don't know what to do

My once secure emotions are flaky

The past and present I rue

 

I'll trust in God for He is good

But will this ever end

I don't know if it really could

Maybe numbness will began

I don't not if it really should

For all along we've been but friends

Are we as strong as hardened wood

Or can we truly bend?
