One-Sided Love
September 16, 2018
You don’t know me
Or see me
Or notice me at all
You don’t know my name
Do you?
Say it and set my heart on fire
The unique politeness of your voice
Surprising coolness in your attitude
You’re clever, so clever
Makes me burn with curiosity
You ask silly things
Which makes me laugh
But when you smile
I stop laughing
I freeze
I’m never going to express my feelings
I can’t
I won’t
It’s one-sided love, I believe
And it’s mine to keep
It hurts
But it’s mine

A one-sided love is both difficult and wonderful.
