YOUR HAPPINESS


I love you not just emotionally 
Though so deeply that if you died I'd die too
That I'd give you my only life
Then use my last breath to whisper those 3 words
You don't know that I do either 
It's because telling you would be hard 
You look at me like a sister, your my big brother the guard 
Even if your younger than me 
People have become to be like cigarettes to my mind I step on them after used
While you've become my drugs  making me want to die for you 
How ironic is it that your best friend knows all your secrets 
Funny, I'm keeping the biggest one from you 
I've become so accustomed to the life we have that it hurts to see you with her or her or anyone for that fact
Your mine
I, Christopher Colombused your ass 
Then marked that territory with a heart
Treasuring your happiness is what's brings about mine 
Guess that's why I have no problem standing by your side 
Even while your in love with her && have another 
It breaks my heart to give you all this information 
So over being with you 
I'd rather be that girl in that back 
Because loving you silently instead of openly is the best card to play in my hand
