It Was, I Felt...

It was protection I felt
The need to provide it
The heart inside me grew strong

You lifted me up
You loved me in spite of it
Even though what I felt, it was wrong

I'm watching you now
Mundane things in life
Those are the things that you do

Those things that you do,
They hurt me so badly
For they are all I want with you

It was attraction I felt
So deep inside of me
I couldn't see past the pain

For though I could never
truly love myself
My love for you would sustain

You're there with him
He hurts you so
And all I can do is but watch

He tears you apart
He takes you for granted
He has right now, what I do not.

I tried other people
I tried moving on
But the heart, it wants what it wants

For though I now know
My desires must be evil
I cannot help but hope.

It was hope that I felt
Hope you might love me
Although you are bound to him

I think I'd be fine
Single, but not lonely
If I could stay this content.

I know that you hate him
Every single fiber
But fear is something so strong

I am always here
Though not your lover
But a friend, who never is gone

Regardless your choice
Long after you've left him
My heart, it never will change

For it was love that I felt
Knowing my soulmate
could be happy again
