In Love Enough For The Both Of Us

A song about unrequited love.

I see there's something in your eyes

And it's hard for you to say

Guess I've overstayed my welcome

I really should be on my way

I see there's no room in your heart

For someone like me

I guess I really tried to hard

I should just let it be

 

But I thought that I could be

In love enough for the both of us

Thought that we could be

So much more than friends

I thought that I could be

In love enough for the both of us

So please don't tell me

How the story ends

 

There's so much that I want to say

And so much I want to hear

But there's no future for us now

You have made your point clear

All you need, I could give

If given a chance

I guess I really tried to hard

But now I understand

 

But I thought that I could be

In love enough for the both of us

Thought that we could be

So much more than friends

I thought that I could be

In love enough for the both of us

So please don't tell me

How the story ends

 

So if you ever get lonely

If you ever think of me

If you ever want to find me

You know where I'll be

You know that I'll be waiting

Here inside my heart

I guess I tried to start a fire

Without a single spark

 

But I thought that I could be

In love enough for the both of us

Thought that we could be

So much more than friends

I thought that I could be

In love enough for the both of us

So please don't tell me

How the story ends

Have you thought about submitting this as lyrics for a country song? It's absolutely perfectly written - I love it :)

There is a spontaneous natural flow to the piece ... which created the desired imagery & feel to it , well written ...

I see there's something in your eyes
And it's hard for you to say
Guess I've overstayed my welcome
I really should be on my way
I see there's no room in your heart
For someone like me
I guess I really tried to hard
I should just let it be ...

'In love enough for the both of us...' One-sided love eh? Lovely, lovely poem friend! It took me away to a place with orchestras and mimes. Like a silent movie. Many thanks for sharing your beautiful work.

aww, now this one I'd like to hear set to music, It'd be a knockout for sure, lovely sentiments, the idea of one-sided attempts in a relationship, it's bound to collapse as soon as the usury is done. I admire the nobleness of this poem though, great work friend!~P
