I have known this girl my whole life
and never did I regret loving her with my all.
She never felt the same way about me
but I thought my love for her would be enough
for the both of us.
As we grew up, things changed.
She wasn't so talkative anymore
life didn't go easy on her
I changed too, but I only
grew up to love her more and more.
She fell in love quite a few times.
But none of those charming boys
held her tight when she was afraid,
she'd always yell ''I hate love''
because love never treated her right.
She'd always come back to me for the usual hug
I'd wrap my arms around her
and comfort her true love needs its time
I remember her wide smile as she joked
''well, I think it's forgotten about me''
The more she crushed my dreams
the more I adored her
until I couldn't watch her get hurt anymore.
If what she needed was a strong prince,
strong I would become.
Months passed by and I knew.
I knew she wasn't as happy
as I could make her feel.
''What does he do that I don't?''
I begged for an answer I knew she wouldn't give.
I surprised her with red roses when she woke up.
I wanted to draw a smile on her pretty face
but she only started crying uncontrollably.
''I hate myself because I wished those were from him.''
she sobbed and shattered my heart.
I understand things don't always turn out
the way we want them to,
but I only wanted one thing
and that was nothing else than you.
I knew right from the start
that loving you wouldn't be easy
still, I thought I'd give it a try.
I now see that you'll never love me
as much as you love him
I always believed having you near
even if you didn't feel the same
would be better than not having you at all
but I see the pain in your eyes
when you kiss my lips and hold my hand.
I guess I love you enough to let you go
but please, don't let him break your heart
you don't deserve any more pain.
One last thing I need to say, please let me know
how you do because even when apart,
I'll still wait for you in the pouring rain.''
