what to say about you
you're cool, you're funny
but one thing that i hate
is you not being there for me

i feel like i'm letting
my feelings grow
for someone who's
not going to be doing
the same to me

then again you
have your own life
to live not two
i shouldn't be holding
you backi should be
pulling you up

although you're not
anywhere near me
i still have to respect
your space i can't
be heading your
direction everytime
i'm losing it

i should be old enough and
wise to handle my own
problems... you taught me well...
