If I were a better person...

If I were a better person.
I could be just your friend.

If I could deny my feelings and be on the mend.
I could love you for who you are
And never ask for more.

But I am sorry
But that is not who I am
You see I have a final plan.

I wanted a love
That is stronger than logic
That defies all
That lasts forever.

But alas, sometimes love is just a fantasy
Love dosent heal all.
Love dosent solve any problems
Sometimes you set yourself up for the fall.

But with you I feel something strong.
I know that my love for you
Just has to be wrong.
But it is still there.

I knelt before you
And you brushed the hair from my eyes
Some of the tender things you do
Just drive me wild.

But I know that I cant have you.
You don’t want me.
I cant have you.
I don’t understand why.

I love you too much to be around you right now.
It hurts me to watch you with someone else.
But it is what it is.
And love does not conquer all.

If I were a better person.
I could love you
Despite the fact that you cant love me.

But alas. That is not the truth
I am heartbroken
I cannot deny
But for you to give me your love…
I had to try

Things always look perfect from far away.
