#unrequited romance
I have fallen in love with you
I have fallen so hard it hurts
You’ve talked about love
About wishing to marry a person who chooses you every day of their life
I would be honored to be that person, but I want you to be happy first
And I hope you find that person who loves you as much as I do, or more
She has the most beautiful eyes I’ve ever witnessed
I fell for someone I knew I couldn’t have
“how are you?” you ask.
how do i tell you that my heart aches every time i think of you?
how do i tell you that i cry myself to sleep every night, remembering you, knowing you’re not mine anymore?
how do i tell you that i’ve torn myself apart every day, trying to figure out what went wrong? trying to figure out what i did?
how do i tell you that i would walk blindly through hell and back to be by your side?
how do i tell you that even though you shattered my heart into a million and two pieces, i can’t stop loving you with every single broken one of them?
how do i tell you that you are the only person i’ve ever loved, and maybe the only person i will ever love?
i can’t- that’s the truth. i can’t tell you any of that.
so how am i?
“i’m fine,” i smile tightly. you don’t ask me to elaborate.
-i can’t tell you the truth. i never could. c.r.
