Not If U Were Mine

I can tell that you‘re unhappy,
But you’re just too strong to say,
I watch your eyes tear up,
Wishing someone would take the pain away,

Its more than obvious to me,
But you’d prefer to hide it,
I watch your soul reaching out for me,
And your body hopes that its invited,

So why stay involved?
When you could be loved at all times,
Not just at 3 o’clock in the morning,
Before the sun begins to shine..

And if that’s what u like,
I’d have to say that, its fine,
But its not the way it has to be…
Not if u were mine…

You deserve to be loved,
Not only when there’s nothing else to do,
Not only when the storm keeps you inside,
But also when skies are blue,

You should be loved,
Not only when you step from the shower,
Barefoot, and glistening with your hair still wet,
Smelling like jasmine, and bergamot powder,

But that’s not the way it is,
You receive no compliment when u buy a new sundress
And when you cut your hair for him….
You shouldn‘t have to wonder if he likes it, or even have to guess….

But if that’s what u like,
I’d have to say that, its fine,
But its not the way it has to be…
Not if u were mine…
