I'm Not Yours

I'm not yours to
Hold.
I'm not yours to
Keep.
I'm not yours
Forever.

I can always
Make you happy.
And fill all your
Sweetest dreams.
But I'm not yours
Forever.
Not even while you
Sleep.

You return the
Favor.
Make me smile
When I need it
Most.

But I can never
Feel that way.

You're one of my
Best friends and
I love you more
Than almost all
Others.

But I can never
Feel that way.

I want to be the
One.
The one you call
Your own.
I know I could
Treat you right
And make you
Feel at home.
I know I could
Be the best
You've ever had

But I can never
Feel that way.
I'm not yours to
Hold.
I'm not yours to
Keep.
I'm not yours
Forever.
Not even while you
Sleep.

I am meant for
someone else...
I may not have
Found him yet.
But I know he is
Out there waiting.
The one that will
Hold my heart
And keep it safe
From harm.
The one that will
Hold me in his arms
Forever.
Sheltered, certain,
Calm.

I know you'll
Find that girl
Though you
Think that I'm
The one.
She's out there
Waiting for you.
To have you for
Her own.

I'll always be
Here for you.
Always be
Your friend.
I care about you
Deeply.
But I can not
Pretend.
