Be a Part of Who I Am

See I would never be selfish enough to ask you for the world, that's not what I want from you,
the world is out there for me take into my own hands, by myself.
I'm not here to ask you to sweep me off my feet, at 150 very heavy pounds
I simply couldn't do it.

I
just want you to be my friend.

Be here when I need someone to confide in,
when the clock hits 3 AM, and my dreams and desires won't let me sleep

I want you to dream with me.
Just be that ear on the other side of the phone line.

I am complete, and I know this.
I know that I am my best friend, and that only I can make things happen for me.
I know that noone could ever know me as well as I know myself,
but why don't you give it a try?
If you can't be a part of me, why not be a part of who I am.
Allow me to share myself, with you. Allow my doors to open, and read.

I have been hurt before, and so I want you to understand when I say, I know.
I don't expect you to trust me, I don't expect you to want the same things I want,
and no, I don't want your heart. There's a healing process that doesn't work overnight,
or even months, and this I know my friend.

I am not asking you to hand yourself over to me.
I understand, but I want you to be my friend.

Am I taking desperate measures to catch your attention?
Am I asking for too much whenI ask for your friendship?
I understand one thing with love, and its that
to find those sweet candy-tasting times, we must take our chances.
To feel the cloud 9 kind of high, we must let go of the past.

I will not promise that things won't flip upside down someday,
that maybe one day we'll be in love, that maybe one day I'll be the next one to break your heart,
but I want to take that chance.

I want to take that chance at the sweet taste of your love, and your mind,
because noone knows about tomorrow, until tomorrow has come, so come sit besides me, be my companion
And know that no matter what happens, we will always be friends.
