Yours To Hold

Right now, yourself is who you need to find 
Maybe you will never be mine
But one day you'll wake up with regret
Because You'll see I was yours to hold this whole time

Feelings, love, relationships, the things I struggle most with
I'm pouring my heart out, and you may never know I wrote this
I hope your dreams find you, and you find a man you love
I hope you feel a warm embrace from any hand you touch

Forget pride, I love you I'll admit it
I don't expect to hear it back and that's okay
This is your life, and you have the right to live it
But seeing you with another guy will be my hardest day 

But I won't try to sabotage it, I'll Probably drink and listen to love songs until I heal
I didn't mean to fall in love with you and that's my issue not yours
I'm looking at my cards and this is just my deal
But I know I'll survive, when I look at what I've lost before 

I just want you to be happy even if it means I have to struggle for a while
When I'm outside I'll have to hide my troubles with a smile
The smile on my face will be the only thing fake about me
I've accepted I'm not the one for you and you need to get to your happy place without me  

It's your life to live so promise me you will do that
I was ready to dive in, but I need to take a step back
If you don't want me, then that's fine
But one day you'll wake up and realise I was yours to hold this whole time
