I'm Right Here

The day I met you, you blew me away
Ever since then I wanted to see you every day

We started to talk which led to some flirting
I knew from there I would end up hurting

From the beginning I knew you had fear
You would hold me at a distance then want me near

With every conversation I would like you more and more
I knew I would end with strong feelings down to my core

You never would tell me what it was you were afraid
But I knew what you were thinking by some comments that you made

Your major battle was the different color of our skin
But all I saw was your beauty and all your beauty within

It hurts that you would think like that although I understand
When the whole time all I wanted was for you to take my hand

I finally asked you out after you hinted with a smile
Then you said no not for a while

I was confused and heart starting to tear
I'd lay awake knowing we weren't going anywhere

I tried and tried for you to see that I'm good
But you would fight it and you never would

You could never get past it, it bothered you so
Up until the day that you let me go

You couldn't understand this white guy being with you
That blocked your heart from seeing I love you through and through

We finally went to that baseball game a night special to me
I thought I would convince you to let your heart go free

Afterwards we talked and flirted some more
I'd get you laughing even falling on the floor

The sound of your voice was like angels singing in my ear
Wishing that you could see that I'm standing right here

Your beautiful brown eyes that sparkled when you looked my way
Would make my heart melt and help me carry on my day

Your beautiful soft hair that looks amazing in so many ways
You are your own person who doesn't care about the latest craze

The most beautiful smile I had ever laid my eyes upon
Some times I'd lay thinking about it until early dawn

The most beautiful caramel skin that I ever saw
If God had painted a picture it is you that he would draw

You are also funny especially when you're upset
The funniest most amazing woman that I had ever met

I love the way you are so strong
Doing what you believe whether right or wrong

You have problems that I wish you would share
And know that what ever happens I will always be there

You didn't want to love and that breaks my heart
I knew this from the beginning and didn't know where to start

I tried to prove my feeling for you day after day
In the end you didn't want to hear what I had to say

We talked about a hockey game and other places we would go
Every time I asked you, again you would say no

You finally said it was over like a thief in the night
I wish you could see the feelings I have are so right

I was so into you and all things that you do
I'll never forget the time that you called me boo

Now you just say you just want to be my friend
My heart and soul are bleeding when you said we have come to an end

It's hard to see you now day by day
Wishing I could carry on in a non caring way

Glad you didn't feel any pain when you let me go
You seemed to move on easy like no feelings at all did grow
