Our very Own thing

From where I'm standing you treated me wrong
And I stood by watching it for far too long
You were uncertain, I felt like I don't belong
Oh, how I wish I could write a different song

Honestly this time though it may as well be a different story
Yet I cannot seem to find this needed glory

Although I still feel like I could never repay
So I'm just wondering about it here another day
Wishing you haven't simply walked out and gone away
I don't wanna proceed on this path that's leading me astray

What is it that you're gaining now that I'm not around
Why is that my knees feel the need to touch the ground

If you'd only knew what you are to me
If there was a way I could make you see
That actually I do not only truly do agree
Instead my love I'm this close to setting you free

Time, that I would very much like to borrow
So could you please come by tomorrow?

Now while you are causing all this pain
I still find myself incapable to complain
Cause it seems nothing gets rid of this stain
When you are slowly creeping through my brain

I may have changed my perspective but not my view
Cause a bullet seems well worth taking for you

Just come over and let me look at your face
Instead of pretending there is a thing like useful space
Cause I can't even begin to try to replace
When all I long for is your invaluable embrace

If only I could come up with the right word
Instead of knowing that I sound so absurd

To my own surprise I'm still happy most of the time
During the day everthing seems almost perfectly fine
Then I come home and design this little rhyme
That makes me feel like committing a serious crime

Let's take our commitment past this year
Instead of drowning in our very own created fear

Did you know I love to watch you sing?
Makes me feel reborn like a tree in spring
For I do not care what it is you bring
As long as I can call it our very own thing

This world I can't seem to apprehend
Without my angel, in other words my friend

And now it's just this time of the year
That makes it hard for me not to shed a tear
Til' this day I end my messages with the word sincere
Cause in my heart I'll always keep you near

I am who you will have always got
All this is just in case that you forgot

Great read, I don’t know

Great read, I don't know your writing so I will keep my suggestions down. Towards the end as long as I can call it our thing, that in particular needs a little more work. maybe as long as I can call it our very own thing and in a few lines it seems you used excessive words and length. But overall enjoyed it alot. Julie D.D.
