I Love You Forever
by
Laura Beth Leither
We met through friends, Whose relationship did end;
Yet we all stayed together, We'll be friends forever!
Something was there from the start, We're meant to be from the heart.
I know at first we weren't real close, But then that changed for the most.
We began hanging out more and more, It became us two instead of us four.
When I found out you liked me I didn't think it true, Till I finally realized I liked you too!
I started to see you in a different way, Wanting and loving you more each day.
I remember those nights at the park, Together always, never apart.
Wrapped in your arms our heartbeats combined, So close together our souls inter-wine.
We flirted a lot but never went out, Till June 15th when you asked me out.
I knew right then that our love was true, Because all I could think about was being with you.
I dreamt about you night and day, I loved you baby, don't go away.
We wanted our love to be strong, We got what we wanted it didn't take long.
A precious kiss from your lips to mine, Let me know we were doing it right.
Together we were like one heart, Never to be pulled apart.
My passion for you grew with each passing day, I never thought it possible to love one this way!
We fought a lot in the past, But our love was strong so we did last.
Whatever I did you were on my mind, I thought of you all the time.
I thought of you when I saw the sun rise, I loved to see you smile it shone through your eyes.
I missed your touch when you were not here, I wanted to cry a single tear.
The look in your eyes told it was true, That you loved me and I loved you.
I cared about you as you care about me, I'd be there for you through eternity.
I thought our relationship would someday end, But I thought we'd remain friends through thick and thin.
The kind of love I had for you was rare, So whatever you did handle it with care.
But you told me lies I thought were true, You played me for a fool, yet I still loved you.
I kept hoping how you acted was only for show, But I was wrong as we both know.
You continued telling lies to everyone you knew, Hoping they'd hate me and continue liking you.
Trying to turn even my friends against me, Your plan didn't work, I was who they believed.
I never thought you'd play these games, You're in high school baby, and still act the same.
You act as if the time we spent was nothing, But the memories we've shared had to mean something.
Your friends have meant more than I ever did, I guess cuddling with them is better than with me.
I wish I didn't love you so, It's hurt me more than you'll ever know.
Seeing you at school is the worst, Knowing you're there but ignoring you by force.
You said we were fine on the phone, I know now that's only true when we are alone.
However, I won't call you since you feel that way, I mean more than that no matter what you say.
Yet your ego keeps you from admitting your heart, Your friends all know you've loved me from the start.
I can read you like a book, And you still have the "I Love You" look.
Love is a feeling deep in the heart, That you can't control even from the start.
So although I do still love you, I wish I could change my feelings and start brand new.
But since I can't I know it's true, That you'll always be a part of me as I am a part of you.
So since this is so, I want to know;
Why our relationship had to end, And why we now can't be friends.
"The Four Musketeer's" we used to be, Without you here it's just us three.
I can forgive and forget what's gone on, Friends aren't supposed to let go and move on.
Whatever happens next I hope you now, I'll still always be here loving you so.
