This is an old song I wrote for my first boyfriend, written over two years ago. Thank you for reading!


The thought of you brings a smile to my face

The happiness you bring cannot be replaced

By some other guy...

Yet somehow, I don't know why

I find that the thought you does not bring butterflies

Though I can see by the sparkle in your eyes

That your love is genuine and true

If only I could feel more for you


You are trying so hard to earn my love

Yet it may seem that it is never enough

The truth is, you do make my heart soar

But my love for you in nothing more

Than that of a close brother


It is amazing that you know how

To avoid conflicts somehow

It is as if nothing has ever been wrong

With us all along

Though with every relationship outside

I see pain in lover's eyes

Yet with me and you

There is no hate ever brewing


You are trying so hard to earn my love

Yet it may seem that it is never enough

The truth is, you do make my heart soar

But my love for you in nothing more

Than that of a close brother


I will never try to hurt you

As I probably will never have reason to

As you are just a perfect soul

And even as we grow older

You respect my wishes without question

And I have yet to see someone with so much dedication

Towards such a broken person

With love taking the place of reason


You are trying so hard to earn my love

Yet it may seem that it is never enough

The truth is, you do make my heart soar

But my love for you in nothing more

Than that of a close brother


If only I could learn how to love right

But this romance is making me go into fight or flight

It is hard for me to learn to love another

Maybe one day when we are older

You will understand

That for me to hold the hand

Of another guy

It just doesn't feel right....


You are trying so hard to earn my love

Yet it may seem that it is never enough

The truth is, you do make my heart soar

But my love for you in nothing more

Than that of a close brother


You are amazing, Kyle

Spending my time with you is worth my while

But I just can't love farther

Than the love of a brother.
