I've been on this hopeless quest
for longer than you can dream.
It all started when it began,
but you could never see.

I was was young and naive
to think that I could be noticed
by someone as great as you.
But I was wrong.

You love another.
They're your everything,
but in your eyes I am transparent.
So you can't see that's how I feel about you.

You've recently suffered a broken heart.
I tried to help you through this crisis,
but still you couldn't see
that I cared the most.

Through my eyes you are all I need.
You are my light,
my smile,
my everything.

But things have now changed.
We don't speak anymore.
This heart-wrenching torture that is inside of me,
is happening simply because I feel like I am not good enough.

I try to make encounters with you.
You brush me off and continue to walk by.
As I am left standing there,
silently crying inside.

Even though you cause me sadness,
I can't escape from my true feelings.
They've been there since the beginning,
and they will never subside.

It's all just a game of back and forth.
Me trying,
you avoiding,
sadness and despair.

The worst part of it all,
is that you won't give me the time of day
to even just try and be your friend.
Is that too much to ask?

And do you want to know what hurts the most?
Despite all of my hope and despair,
I know it will never work.
Simply because we are too alike.

I've become accustomed to it though.
This back and forth that makes me want to cry.
but I still continue to play this game,
all because I love you.
