Prayer



I like a boy in my class
He is so nice but never talked..
I told him what I felt..
I thought his heart will melt.

But less did I know he already had a warm heart
What I wanted to say, he patiently heard.
Told him I like him, and he stays in my mind,
like him since the first time I saw him.

But he was already someone else's man
He told me I'm sorry
And asked me, how I am.
This made my eyes to flow with tears,
my heart ached and I'm sorry my dear,
I lied to you that I'm well
This was just a crush and for you, I didn't fell.

He still wanted to know and keep the contact
It was so difficult and breaking my heart.
I couldn't have him, but had to stay.
I'm sorry this was a painful way.
This journey was hurting, I couldn't bear
So, I blocked all the ways and again my eyes filled with tears.

I said goodbye and wished happiness in his life.
He and his girl must stay happy, but far from my eyes.

Cuz I like him, but I love me too.
Can't see me hurting, and faking too
To fake my feelings was a difficult task
So I blocked the ways of contact of ours.

Now I'm writing for him, and he'll never know
Happiness and smile stay in their lives, I hope

I pray and I wish only peace in their life
But I'm sorry I'm unable to keep my feelings aside.
Even if I try to see another man
You come to my mind and I am bound
Bounded by these feelings in which there's only you.
I'm sorry but I'm unable to forget you.
I'm feeling guilty too, cuz you're someone else's man.
So I blocked all the ways of our contact.
But what can I do, you always come to my mind.

I like you so much, but I feel guilty for this.
I should be sorry to the girl who likes you since sixth.

I'm so sorry miss, this was not in my hand
I couldn't control, and that's my bad.
I promise you, I'll never show up to you both
I'll just pray for your happiness and growth.
May you both stay with each other forever
This is my only prayer... My only prayer
