Who knows you better than anyone else
But the Lord that created you?
Tho' you may not know what you really want
For sure He knows what you truly need:
Someone to meet your heart's desires
For your two hearts will be as one
Someone to dull your sharp edges
So you would be ready for greater things
Someone to wipe your tears
When the world come crashing down on your shoulders
Someone to heal your heart's scars
So you can continue on this long journey
Someone to lend you a hand when you fall
So you can stand tall once again
Someone to cheer you in times of success
When you conquer the Everest of life's challenges
But should you be one of those special few
Whose needs no one but only God can meet
Do know that you will not live in solitude
For He Himself shall be your soulmate for all eternity
You offered no explanation
Only that your heart is no longer there
I searched my soul for what I did wrong
But that wouldn't change anything for us, sad to say
Though my heart is broken
And my feelings hurt
I will let you go, baby
For that's the only right thing to do
I will beg you to stay first
And ask you to reconsider
For that's only natural
To try to hold on to a treasure like you
But if you still want to go
Count on it that I'll honor your choice
For there's no point keeping your body
When your heart is no longer mine
I want you to feel free
Like a bird out of a cage
For true love is a liberating force
Not a bondage for our souls
I will honor your decision
For with true love comes respect
If I don't respect you today
Would I respect you even if we are wed?
I promise you I'll still be a friend to you
Though it'll be hard for a while, I must say
I harbor no anger nor hatred for you
For I love you too much to lose you once again
I will give you unreserved blessings
Just as I have always done
I hope you will soon find a man
Who loves you more than I ever could
A sensitive man
Who listens without yawning
An attentive man
Who meets your every need
But if things don't go well
And it seems there's no one to turn to
Just remember this friend of yours
Who will always be here for you
Always...
Just like my love for you
Love needs to include respect
To honor the other's wishes
And courage and character
To accept those that you don't agree
Don't try to understand me
For no one could ever succeed
A woman's heart is far deeper
Than the abyss in the ocean
But you can be a friend to me
If you can learn to respect me
And give me the space I need
To live my life as I please
And when that day finally comes
You will also find a friend in me
To be there when you need support
And to share in your triumph and defeat
So the choice is up to you
To live a life of bitterness and anguish
Or make me happy and free
And get a friend for eternity
So what would it be?
You sit quietly by the pond
With no hook on the string
How can you catch anything
Even if the fish are willing?
Don't be afraid to love
Because of the risk of injury
Just be sincere and true to them
And hope that they will appreciate
If things don't work out
And sadly that's quite a possibility
You can only be open and honest
And pray that they will understand
Like the Mac and the PC
No compatibility is guaranteed
But friendships there can always be
If both hold on to their sincerity
