For Both of You

The time has come for me to be strong
Hold my head high, I've been down for far too long.
Afraid of never being worthy of true love
Hoping to find the one who fits me like a glove.
In the meantime I'll do what I can
Wipe up the tears I've cried for this man.
I can't remember the last time he held me
Or spoke words of assurance & security.
I am a woman who wants to be kissed
When I am gone, tell me it is me you missed.

A fairy tale believer without any shame
What do i have to lose? Amazing love to gain.
My loneliness has led me to take a lover
Sex without emotions I've learned to discover.
This friendship doesn't really suit me
But yet I cannot let him be.
I must be careful to guard my heart
Should have never let my walls down from the start.
Trying to keep my friendships in perspective
Making sure never again my heart is neglected.
Not wanting to play the love game
I'll find that one person who feels the same.
Never leaving me to second guess how he feels
He'll tell me & show me, then I will know it's real.

Don't be a coward & keep me here
Just because who you truly love isn't near.
If you care at all as you say you do
Let me go...this goes for both of you!
