SHE

Jessica C. Largado

She’s a girl, a friend so special

I’ve known her for four years now

I’ll love her forever, I vow

But then you came in between our life.

You’ve known me for years, you’ve known her for months

But she is already closer to your heart

You talk to her like you know her all your life

And it gives pain to my foolish heart.

She was hurt, you came to her

She was crying, you dried her tears

She was afraid, you removed her fears

She was broken, you lent your ears.

As she cried, you never left her side

You didn’t know I was also in pain inside

All along I pretended to be alright

But when I’m alone, a river of tears I cried.

You think she’s weak, do you really think so?

I say she’s stronger more than you ever know

‘Cause she can tell you directly she loves you

While I can’t, it’ll forever be a secret to you.

Oh first love, why do you have to be so hard?

I thought you are sweet, but you’re painful and sad

It breaks my heart but I can’t be mad

‘Cause you were two special people I had.

I learned to set aside my feeling,

Learned to give up without even fighting

I didn’t know if I had a chance of winning

Or I was afraid that both of you, I’ll end up losing.

I gave you up because she was there

I gave you up because you were happy with her

All the pain, I could still bear

And I know someday, I will recover.

She’s a good person, I know that

And she’s just so perfect to be your half

Your eyes sparkle when she laughs

And I know I was right when I gave up.

She can make you happy, can take care of you

She can understand the negative acts you do

She can accept the dark side of you

She can love you and hurting you never will she do.
