Unrequited

Mad.

No I can't be mad.

She is a pretty girl.

A nice girl.

A friend.

You

Are just someone

I admire from afar.

The only part of you

I know by heart

Is your smile.

The smile you have

Around her.

She brings out the

Beautiful things in you.

But is it so selfish

To wish that were me?

Is it so selfish that I wish

I could bring you glee?

I would sweep you off

Your feet

And in just seconds you

Would forget about

Everything else.

You would only remember

Me.

This heart inside my chest

Wants to be sad,

But all it wants is your happiness.

I suppose that's what she gives you.

It breaks my fall

But it doesn't stop my heart

From breaking.

Love is complicated.
