ONLY YOU

He looks @ you like you’re the prettiest thing on this earth,
He looks @ you with so much to say, but runs outta words…
‘coz all the things he wants to say, he’s said them before,
& you quietly listened, took the compliments,
… and said nothing in return

Yet he wants you more than anything
But pretends that he can live without you,
even though he knows you’re his everything…

He needs you to take care of him,
But pretends to take you under his wing..
But isn’t that enough for now? He tries to take care of you
… but you do nothing in return

If you tried too, I’m sure you both would
Be able to take care of each other
‘coz he’s someone unique, like no other…
He’s considered a genius by some,
but since he’s a nobody right now, why bother?
Right?

He’s given you more than enough reasons
as to why he is the way he is,
But you stay blind to it, gave nothing…
… yet expected so much in return

If you had tried too, to never expect & just give
You would’ve become a reason for him to live…
It still shocks me to think that you could possibly say,
If he doesn’t wanna live for himself,
why should you live for him?

Yet even when he doesn’t wanna live for himself,
he wants to live for you.
Not that he’s doing a favour to you,
Neither do you want him to..
but you could have tried to be less selfish
& he just wanted to be with you,
you could’ve easily granted him that wish

He was trying to figure something out
But you didn’t give him much of a chance,
Even though you say you did,
Forget about understanding his life,
you barely gave it a glance .

You heard everything, but understood nothing
‘Coz you & I both know, that person was me…
Whether you wanted someone to take care of you or not,
that person easily could’ve been me…

If you stuck around long enough, & stayed by my side to see,
Despite your own multiple flaws, & despite always trying to
& eventually succeeding in changing me,
I could have easily taken care of you,
& I WOULD have easily taken care of you.

& don’t pretend like you don’t have a clue,
‘coz you know very well who always picked up
the pieces after you always threw
His hopes & expectations to the ground,
Shattered, his hopes & expectations that he found
by being with you… but that’s the kinda guy you want
Right?

I AM that guy, that always stuck by your side.
It’s pathetic ‘coz I sound like the girl,
Being treated like shit by the one guy she loves
after abandoning the whole world…

Maybe if I’m lucky then in some time
you’ll be saying I was* the guy
That always wanted you more than anything,
but you just never stuck by his side

All the times he would come after you,
to fix the situation even though it was your fault…
Yet you never went once to see him
When he was in need of you..
The best you did was message him once or twice,
& that too was probably too much to ask of you..
considering how selfish you are,
& how you always run away,
& you say that I don’t face situations?
How are you different in any way???

What, you think it makes you a better person,
just ‘coz you pray?
If there is a GOD, you think he cares
what you have to say?
When what you do doesn’t match what you pray
You preach “love for all” & shit.. yet here I lay
Writing a pathetic poem, coz I got nothing better to do,
I thought I’d write this,
so @least you have something to remember to…
When I’m gone, ‘coz you know that I love you
More than anything in this world..
@least @ the moment that’s what’s true

I could’ve been the guy that would’ve taken care of you,
but I turned out to be just another guy that loved you…
But that’s not enough for you, nor is it enough for me
So here I am, purposely shedding tears on paper,
to remind you that yes, I was crying while writing this

It ain’t no drama, but I thought I’d let you know
That it hurts a lot… ‘coz I can never let you go.
