An ode to the boy I can never have

June 28, 2022

I’m only supposed to watch you from afar

Never let you know that you have a fan

Hide from the truth in my feelings for you

Pretend as if I don’t remember your name when in reality I remember any detail I’ve found about you


I realise that your a forbidden fruit 

But how much I wish to know how sweet you taste


None of your friends really understand how amazing you are

Your girlfriend doesn’t appreciate your kindness

Your siblings force the bad from your perfect exterior

Your parents don’t celebrate how academically achieved you really are


How I wish to show them what their missing

But I’m not allowed to give away this secret

So you must remain a hope

A dream

A desperately unreachable future of the oblivious boy and the wishing girl
