EVERY TiME Falling in love with your best friend is horrible. And when you do that, when they love someone else, your life is a wreck. This was written after I fell in love with my best friend and found out his plight. Unfortunately, we can't love each other at the same time..but all is explained. Written June 17, 2002.

Every Time

Every second that I see you,
My heart breaks a little more.
She hurt you badly
And where was I?
Crying in the bathroom
On the verge of suicide.
I held out my hand
If you wanted to take it.
You never wanted to,
But I'll hold it out
For all eternity.
I see you daily,
Your heart hurting.
You don't know, though,
That mine is the same.
When I couldn't love you,
I felt your pain.
Now that I can love you,
I feel it ten times more.
I suppose this is fair,
But never did I expect you
To be hurt by someone so pure.
Every second that I see you,
My heart cries a little more.
