Just to see you smile
Makes me happy
Knowing you smile not because of me
Makes me sad
Bewildered by you
I like to look on
And try to understand
Why you do the things that you do
Sitting here knowing
I can’t ever let you know
How strongly I care for you
Or you will hurt me
Enough to die
It hurts me deeply
That I care so much
And you would act as strangers
I see the good in you
Each day pray you make it through
And succeed in all you do
And grow into a wonderful person
The person I know you can be
I am here for you
Through every mistake you make
And game you win
When the whole world deserts you
And you grow from the world
Turn to me
Me who will always be there
Even if you claim to hate me
Deny me, manipulate me, or ignore me
I am full of forgiveness and love
As long as you be real
My friendship with you
I value so much
All I want is for you
To open up and let me in
