I loved you

Loved how your smile was so bright it could make anyone happy

Loved your laugh, how it always seemed to ring in my mind afterwards, like a sweet song stuck in your head that just won't go away

Loved how you teased me, harsh yet playful

Every interaction felt like a blessing

You were the whole world to me,

But I clearly wasn't the whole world to you

This a poem about love, specifically unrequited or one-sided love. I hope this piece helps readers feel seen and like they are not alone in experiencing this. If this poem gets selected for publication, it would be great if it could be featured around Valentine’s Day.
