Lucky to have someone who loves you

I was lying next to you,

wanted to hug you, couldn't do. 

Thinking about all our past,

wondering what future has. 

You were moody, did not like,

we have to lie this close all night. 

Besides your Crush slept on the bed

and I was your cock-blocking thread. 

Nothing but nights of this kind,

made me realize love is blind. 

Emotions dance a devil's jive,

Bitch tries to ruin all my life. 

I have done all things and more,

I was selfish, fought a war. 

Trusted, cryed and talk a lot,

my head this evening got too hot. 

I was drunk, I lost control,

even slap you and then LOL.

It's the lowest point I've been,

that is my ugliest sin. 

You moaned and whispered in dark room:

'Damn it my life! It's a doom.'

Your Crush turned to us again:

'You have someone who loves you. What a pain!'
