I Did Take An Extra Mile By Peter Mashoto
You said I should stop thinking about you ,I stopped caring
You said you don’t want a commited relationship,but I found myself being faithful to you
You said no strings attached, but I was bound to you
You never responded to my proposal ,but I assumed you rejected it
You never called me nor texted me, but whenever my phone vibrates I still wish it was a call or text from you
You said you don’t know me, I suggested we take time to know each other but you never said anything .
You hurt me but I never said anything, nor did I mention it in our conversations
You might think am desperate but that ain’t the truth , I just never experienced these feelings before
You might never be able to feel what I feel when am with you ,but you must know how enthralled I’ve been since I met you
You might never experience this enrapture but I will never loose it
You and I don’t know what true love is , but if if loving you isn’t true love then I don’t wanna experience it because this suffering is enough
You know people always say fight for the person you love , but I say why should I fight while the results of fighting is always bruises and pains ,and in this love it seems like the victor will be left with no prize , but embarrassment
You heard me saying I love you ,I think I went overboard ,because my knees where shaking and I was startling when I spoke with you
…………….. am a bit embarrased because a real guy doesn’t submit , I said I love you but on the contrary I meant that I like you
I wish I had the ability to let you see yourself through my eyes ,only then you’ll realize how special you are to me , wish I could make you feel what happens to my heart whenever I see you ,I never felt butterflies when I approached girls before but with you its different ,you remind me of those high school moment where it was hit and run ,but things have changed because it’s get and keep but sad I can’t keep you because you’re not mine. I bet you’ll never know what I mean to you until you find someone who doesn’t show you the kind of appreciation I show you ,I might not be the best in the world but I can love you better than the rest, I am flusterd because at this moment ,I don’t know where we stand . thought we could rise ,blossom like spring flower’s through the pleasant weather.
You meant the world to me , but now I wish I’d never see your face again because it hurts my heart ,when think of you being with another dude, I wish you could mend my feelings carass me, like I thought, I always thought about you and I ,now the only person I think about it’s me ,my heart has four chamber’s ,I can’t believe I preserved one of those chambers for you ,but I guess I was blind ,always heard people saying love is blind , I never thought I could be so blind that I almost forgot where am heading , it’s true blind men can’t use a GPS , though I ain’t got no directions to your heart anymore ,I think its about time I took another route ,I hope and pray it would lead me to the green land where pastures are green ,and I won’t have to beg for the love I deserve ,and the love I deserve comes from a heart that deserves to be loved without begging for my love and that knows what am worth .never say I didn’t try because I did take an extra mile.
