Truth is...

by J Lau   Feb 21, 2006


I used to think
That I can control,
The feelings I had for you
And the thoughts of being with you.

I kept my distance,
I held my stance.
I treasure the friendships,
And I wished you both happiness.

I knew that it will not
Be an easy path,
But it turns out to be much rougher
Then I could ever imagine.
Cause deep down,
It hurts like crazy.

Truth is...
I cannot hold my feelings back
And ignore its existence.
I cannot pretend l am not jealous,
That I'm not the one by your side.

Truth is...
I cannot ignore the pain anymore,
When comforting you when you fall.
I cannot stand seeing you being hurt over and over again,
And there's nothing more I can do.

Truth is...
I'm not being truthful and fair to myself,
Cause it hurts so much inside each time you cry.
I cannot leave this wound open,
And not distance myself to let it heal.

Truth is...
I had feelings for you ever since the day we met,
And it only grew deeper as time past.
I know that I should not feel this way,
But I can't help myself thinking of you each day.

Truth is...
I was sure that you were the one,
ever since we met again that day,
Around the end of June.

I don't know what to do anymore,
My logic is overwhemled by my emotions.
I still wish that everything will work out,
Between you and him.
But if one day in the years to come,
That fate finally grant me the chance.
I wish that we will be together,
Forever less a day...

For that is the day,
I wanted you to know...
How I truly felt ... about YOU.

    I love your writing, I am really impressed. I feel like maybe you are a little caught between rhyming and not.. and that throws the consistency off a little bit for me..I love it when you are not sticking within the confines and writing freely, those are the lines that have the most impact for me, that say the most.. I think you are very talented and I am looking forward to reading more.
