Good enough for you



I kept hoping that you would change
and see the little good I saw in myself

I risked it all for you but still
I was never good enough for you

Now I constantly drown in a pool of regrets
and agony

Part of me still waits for your return
Even after all this years

I can't help but think
Why I wasn't good enough for you

I want to be good enough for only you
Was I not a good friend to you?
