I will never forget seeing you for the first time.
Our eyes locked for a split second,
But it felt like I had been staring
For forever.
And then you smiled.
And the whole world caved in on me,
Because I knew.

I spoke to you for the first time in september.
I took every single word you said to me
and I held on to them.
For eternity.
I would've rather listened to you speak
than listen to my favorite songs.
I had your voice on repeat.
And that was breaking my heart
Because I knew.

We went out for the first time in February.
You sat across from me
And all I could see was light.
I was comfortable,
but I was blinded.
And when I touched your arm,
there was no longer blood in my veins.
Just electricity.
And my heart dropped,
Because I knew.

We were inseperable.
Every second of the goddamn day
You were on my mind.
You refused to leave my side,
And I refused to let you.
We loved each other.
No one understood that.
And I didn't care at all,
Because I knew.

It's september once again,
And every time I look at you
I fall in love all over.
But then you met somebody new,
And suddenly you were different.
I saw the way you held her.
I saw the way you looked at her.
I went home and I cried that night,
Because I knew.

It's May now,
and you're falling in love.
But not with me.
You always promise to call me,
But you never do.
And we don't talk much anymore.
You're too busy for me now.
But I don't cry, I wait.
Because I know.


The author's comments:

Unrequited love is a pain like no other. People fall in love and have this hope that maybe things will work out perfectly. Sometimes it does but sometimes it doesn't. The thing is, when you fall in love with someone you put your heart in their hands and you trust them with the thought that this person will never hurt you. I knew better than that.
