The Hardest Thing

The hardest thing
I’ve ever done
Was fall in love
With you.

I fell in love, and I fell hard.
I knew you didn’t love me back,
But I still fell for you.
I still love you.

I know you don’t care,
But I still think about you.
I know you are just my friend,
But I still dream about you.

I know you don’t care,
So I don’t push.
I know you don’t want me,
So I try to hide it.

I try to hide my love,
And just be your friend.
Happy in the fact
That you are still my friend.

But I cannot be.
I cannot smile
While you don’t care.
I cannot stop the tears.

Because the hardest thing
I have ever had to do,
Was falling in love
With you.

I cannot stop thinking
And dreaming of what could be
If only you saw me
As I see you.

I cannot force myself
To stop dreaming
Of a day
When you love me too.

This hope is what I hold onto,
This dream is my last.
I cannot let go,
I need this dream.

I need to hope
And dream of you.
I need to wish
And wonder.

Because the hardest thing
I have ever had to do
Was fall in love
With you.
