Second Draft

Earning a Friend


Will you let your guard down

all your feelings are locked inside

I need to know the real you

and not be brushed aside


When we're alone it feels like magic

I could stay like this forever

but when people come along

there's no hope with being together


I need you to give this a try

I don't want this to end

but if you don't do your part

All I've earned is a friend.
