I've been in love with you a while,
And I've been having second thoughts.
I swore I would never stop,
But lately, it's been too complicated.
I've seen other guys
Who just seem more interested than you.
They don't ignore me
When all I want is a guy to talk to.
I wish you would come over
And hug me like you wish I was yours.
I wish you would come by
And tell me you love me more than ever.
I've always wished you were mine,
And my tears have poured endlessly.
You've done nothing to help me;
You've only hurt me more.
Love is a complicated thing
And it's so hard to deal with.
Especially when the one you love
Doesn't seem to even know you're there.
The confusing thing for me?
Why did you even say, "I love you,"
When the very next week
You would end everything we had?
Why would you hurt me that way?
How could you hurt me, the one you loved?
I don't understand guys at all.
All they seem to do is hurt us girls.
All I want in life,
Is for a guy to come up to me
And tell me they're not all the same.
I want him to stop my confusion.
All I want for a guy to be
Is the perfect one for me.
I want him to love me for who I am.
I want a guy to be who I share my life with.
But I want someone to explain to me...
Why did he have to hurt me,
And then completely ignore me
When all I wanted was to be friends?
Why is love so painful and confusing?
Why, why, why?
So many questions,
So little answers.

Well, this kinda tells my story, but also, it shows my confusion with guys and with the guy that I love. I hope it's okay. Thanks for the prompt!
