Maybe This Is All Love Is For

It was just the other day,
when you said 'we're just friends',
my chest was wide open
so the pain was let in

I didn't expect such words,
to come from a boy soo shy,
maybe you could call it a quiet confidence,
but you could kiss my heart goodbye.

Sometimes, I lived on every look,
and every word that was spoken,
but the truth of it is,
he wanted to leave my heart,
shattered and broken.

So I put my brave face on,
and didn't let him know,
that inside, the emotions were stirring,
and my tears would soon show.

I told myself I wouldn't cry,
I wouldn't let him get the best of me,
but as the time slipped by,
I thought of all the memories.

The times when we would snuggle in his bed,
after late nights in the tent,
and sneaking around in the summer,
and all the rules we bent.

I realize that we are different,
and he wasn't ready to change,
But sometimes I feel as though,
I am the one to blame.

No matter how hard I tried,
I just couldn't get him to speak his mind.

And no matter how many times I called,
he wasn't searching for me after all.

So here I am, regretting those days,
and imagining all the effort I put forth,
but thinking of memories that made things seem happy,
and maybe thats all that it was worth.

Maybe thats all love was for.
