To his girlfriend.

There's something I must ask, a favor if you will,
involving the heart broken one you're holding.
Keep him safe; healthy, don't let him fall ill,
it's happened before and his heart's still folding.

Tell him you love him but please don't lie,
and make him feel special by your heart.
Dream about loving him even after you die;
just promise me you won't let him break apart.

I had moved on when he was coming back,
So why take advice from me?
His heart has nothing to lack,
But if I could change the past, I would've set him free.

I know he's struggling; way too much,
But you're a lucky one; you are.
I truly missed what I had; his soft touch,
Hold him tight and don't go far.

He's my best friend and I miss what we had,
and I know he'll never love me the same.
But seeing him frown is making me sad,
I finally realized love is not a game.

He won't understand; how much I'm dying,
and I'm sure he doesn't care.
Ask him if he's done lying,
So, to his face, I can show I care.

I know you name but I'd like to introduce myself;
even though my mood is bleak.
I hope you appriciate him, and love yourself
when he makes my muscles feel weak.

I shouldn't be complaining,
I'm probably hurting you inside.
But it's my tears that I'm maintaining,
just please don't let him hide.

Can you at least keep him standing,
when his knees give out?
And keep him from a hard landing,
make him smile, and erase his pout.

And I see the way he looks at you,
please don't break his heart.
Everything I've said has been true;
he easily breaks apart.

All I want is for you to watch after him;
make sure he's okay.
Make his smile alittle less dim
and promise him you'll always stay.

Protect his fragile heart that's broken into two;
I don't think I have the effort or time.
When tomorrow comes, you'll know what to do;
and tell him that the heart he's holding, is forever mine.
