Try My Best (Poem)
Im gonna try my best to love him
Dont know why I want him so
Yeah Ill try and keep him by my side
I wont ever let him go
Oh Ive learned too much in my poor life
To laugh at humor I cant see
Its sad I know that I cant show
My love, but I wont set him free
So Im gonna try my best to love him
Even if it takes all night long
Even if this feeling hurts me
I've heard pain can make you strong
And I know that Im not his girl
Really never thought Id care
But to see him in your arms
Thats the one thing I cant bear
If you said I had no heart
Well I hardly think Id cry
Cause there aint one thing you know bout me
That Id bother to deny
And its not that I dont find him sweet
I know too well his voice, his touch
His eyes, and often underneath
I wonder that I try this much
Still it would be a shameful lie
To say I love this boy, this man
But I am fond and he is fine
So in the end perhaps I can
I agree this child deserves
A better friend and lover too
But Im gonna try my best to love him
Just to keep him far from you
