• a poem for you – kida moysey

    if i told you that i loved you,
    would you say "i love you too"?
    if i cried, and said i needed you,
    would you know what to do?
    if i yelled at you to stop it,
    but then gave you one last chance,
    would you take it? would you hurt me?
    would you spare a passing glance?

    as of now i'm only guessing,
    'cuz there's no way i could know.
    but i feel as if you'd understand
    why a name could hurt me so.
    even though you've pushed my buttons,
    stretched your limits to the end
    would you believe me if i said
    you're so much more than just my friend?

    i don't know why i trust you.
    it doesn't make much sense.
    could i really be forgetting
    what the child in me repents?
    i've never known how to explain,
    how sometimes i just know.
    some people waltz out of my life,
    and other times i can't let go.

    it's not a secret, i've been hurt,
    it's not something I should hide.
    but would you stay and hold my hand,
    when i'm broken up inside?
    could i tell you about everything;
    the things that broke my heart.
    would you hold me while i sobbed and shook?
    you listen, that's a start.

    i don't know what i'm trying to say,
    i've not decided yet.
    but i want to tell you how i feel,
    i don't want to forget.
    i want to say just one last thing,
    as i bring this to an end.
    if you don't feel the way i do,
    you're still more than just my friend.
