defeat
You were standing there, being your usual happy self
 butterflies were swarming in my stomach
 our eyes met for a minute and for 60 seconds,
 I felt giddy like a little school girl
 nothing in the world matters,
 it's just you and me
 you shifted your eyes away
 suddenly it felt like all the happiness went away with you,
 I wondered why you did that,
 There was something there,
 I could feel it
 so why in the world would you do such a thing?
 I followed where your eyes landed  I did not like what I saw
 I saw you looking at her lovingly
 It made me so infuriated
 anger boiled inside of me
 I wanted to punch her
 How dare she grab the sweet moment before my eyes?
 but I can't
 How can I?
 She was never cruel, she was never abrasive
 She's almost perfect
 She's something I can't compete with
 It would feel very wrong to harm her
 So here I am again, Feeling defeated as always.
