Why I See You As Just A Friend

Here comes the moment I've been trying to avoid,
The offer is on the table with the list of times we've enjoyed,
Or a reason for the offer but I wonder why bother,
Then you release what's bottled in and I'm like damn I caught her,

By the heart, but I'm just trying to be her friend,
Now I wish I had equal feelings or reasons we should end,
The feelings being grown for me, that seem to be done easily,
Like watching something so fragile be born for me,

Don't get me wrong, I want to give you the world because you deserve it,
I want to cater to your fruit, if you're a blackberry then I'll curve it,
Since you're worth it but, I'm not capable of giving you everything you need,
I can count my flaws that makes it hard for us to succeed,

Crazy thing is I want to try, but my failure shouldn't be apart of your story,
At the end of the day, overcoming your obstacles with me won't make up your glory,
I'm not perfect but compared to the ones before me I can be,
But I just work the strengths of my flaws within me,

I sit hoping to do you right but I want to avoid the moment,
Just for now since time is so expensive and no one can loan it,
So now I'm falling just like I did before,
For my own trick so I feel sick and you just want for more,

Then you think I'm selfish although I'm feeling selfless,
With the intent of your heart so I can't help this,
Well help to be honest and you think I'm running game,
Just another player, trying to pimp and I'm just the same,

As the others, but no need to argue against you, I just show how I differ,
Since I know what you been through, I take my hat off to tip you, and show respect much quicker,
Competition doesn't exist for real but you think if you create it, things will change,
Yeah they will but it will only make things strange,

Well awkward, like I said I fell for this before,
So I try to be honest since I know what's in store,
At least I think I know,
Here's a confession I'm really just afraid for love to grow,
Blessed with a kind heart that's fragile I guess that's why my feelings show.

So I can never completely dismiss love, or control it,
So I try to avoid it so I won't have to console it,
Again, I'm having no problems with not wanting to pretend,
But until I'm ready to take the chance, don't take offense if I say I look at you as just a friend...

P.S. (Dear Woman 2)

P.S.

I still sit and think of your pain,
I think of how my generation and the one before has left you in vein,
I watch your guard around your heart go up and down,
I wish to flood your vision with happiness to drown out your frown,

Watching from a distance, afraid to pursue with persistence,
Trying to read you correctly but falling short with resistance,
From your heart and your mind, I wish to seek over time,
All at once but with patience, so you can say that I'm,

In it for the win, with no need to pretend,
The battle you live in becomes my problem so I'm forced to depend,
On myself to guarantee you are reminded of your worth,
From the blood drips and heartaches that leave you hurt,

So that you can continue living, so I show that you are more,
Than anything that makes you feel less worthy and I remind you what's in store,
Happiness, and I'm just hoping you seek it,
I hope it comes into one's eyesight so you can reach and keep it,

Let that moment last for life, yet with the blessings of God,
Hoping he shields you from getting your heart robbed,
From that person who is acting out the wrong that they have been taught,
The one who's mind is damaged and feelings are caught,

Up, and they can only justify their thoughts by acting out,
So I'll stand up to the challenge of protecting you without a doubt,
Because I know that you're just short of perfect, so you have to be worth it,
Holding the power to change the world, with time you can birth it,

Well give birth to, a seed to plant into the Earth that could be positive or negative,
That's your only flaw, not knowing what to the Earth you may give,
And Woman, you wake up with your intentions just to please,
Your first thoughts are kind and seem to be done with ease,

Until some one decides to hurt you, physically or mentally,
But please don't change your ways because of something not meant for thee,
Well you, just a lesson that could have been avoided or simply told,
Don't let one person leave you with regret forcing, you to become cold,

So I say to you keep your warmth and continue fighting,
Don't let them get the best of you, stay exiting,
Keep your smile shining, it will pay off I assure you,
Chivalry didn't die in generations, it just wasn't taught to the last two!
