Rooftop

by Jerrine Therese   Dec 14, 2006


You seem to see me crying
on the rooftop everyday
you always ask what's wrong
but I just say I'm OK

There are times I tell you
about this guy I like
Someone who makes me smile
yet cuts me deep inside

he belongs to someone else
and stays loyally to her
he smiles wistfully at every story
about their day together

He keeps on saying
'she's the one'
I just keep smiling and think
'I have got to move on'

You seem to listen
to every word that I say
you say you understand
but I know that that's a fake

There's no way you'd feel
this hurt right now
when you've got someone
to be with you when you're down

Not an ordinary someone
just like me, a friend
but someone more than that
to whom your heart you lend

It seems weird to tell you this
after you'd heard my story
You tell me to tell him what I feel
why don't you tell me why you can't see?

Isn't it obvious that's it's you
the one who hurt me deeply?
Someone with that girl
who always gets all the glory

You always talk about her
on the rooftop when I ain't crying
you keep on saying words
and stabbing my heart within

I take pictures of the wind
just to take the pain away
I throw the photos right after
imagining it's what I'm feeling today

I left just one photo
to accompany this letter
at last I'm confessing
and you wont wait any longer

I think it sucks since I just wrote it now... I kinda suck at these things
