Don't Try

by Jocelyn   Jun 16, 2008


Don't try to dry my tears
If your the reason i am crying

Don't try to hold my hand
If you don't want to hold on

Don't try make me smile
If you plan on making me frown

Don't give me a hug
If you don't want to stay together

Don't kiss me in the rain
If the rain will be my tears

Don't let me fall for you
If your going to let me crash and burn

    Wow...
    this totally reminds me of myself...

    just yesterday i was crying over my love (its been 3 years yet he doesn't know) and how i thought i had gotten my happy ending, but i didn't.

    Don't try to dry my tears
    If your the reason i am crying

    [this is so me. i did this just yesterday. it makes me so sad just to think about him now. but i'll have to learn the hard way i guess, cuz i still think i'd be glad if he cared enough to dry my tears even if they were because of him...]

    Don't try to hold my hand
    If you don't want to hold on

    [yeah, i agree with this. i don't want to fall into love with someone who doesn't care. and i totally agree with you. this is a different situation with the first stanza cuz i'm not breaking down and i don't need a shoulder to cry on... i know it sounds ironic but that's just how i feel...] =)

    Don't try make me smile
    If you plan on making me frown

    [agreed. although i don't think kyle would ever do this to me, he might incidentally. i don't want to dig myself into a deeper pit than i already am right now...]

    Don't give me a hug
    If you don't want to stay together

    [haha... too true too true... but the only time i've hugged him was when everyone was hugging each other after the graduation dance so i hugged him good-bye... i think he was meaning to hug me, but i did it before he could scare himself out of it.]

    Don't kiss me in the rain
    If the rain will be my tears

    [oh my god. my fav stanza. of course, this is totally how i feel... (right now i feel really pathetic cuz i can empathize with everything you're talking about, every symptom of suffering in love...]

    Don't let me fall for you
    If your going to let me crash and burn

    [the best. i don't know which one is better, or which stanza describes me more, but this one and the one before it is the best writing i've seen in a while now. i can't believe i'm empathizing with almost everything ur saying... its almost like u've been thru it all the same...]

    i love ur writing joc, keep it up k?

    and whatever made u write this remember that you have friends you can talk to, even if california! (me)

    so keep it up and pm me with updates k?
