It is the night we face
The reality of our futures,
(…Going our separate ways…)
Yet, I dwell on the past.
I sit in the stands,
And even a year
After I was in your place…
I have still not moved on
(…I am still, yearning…)
You are dressed head to toe
In black and red
(…Red was always your colour…)
And I yearn to give you a message
As you descend the stage
With the ticket to your future
Held proudly in your hands…
“I love you!”
I want to yell as I run to you…
(…Don’t leave…)
(…I’m not ready to let you go…)
“I love you!”
I yearn to whisper in your ear…
(…Include me in your future…)
“I love you!”
My heart screams as I sit, unmoving
(…I’m still here…)
I love you…
But next year,
We’ll be worlds apart,
(…Though we were never together…)
And “Love” is between us
Only alphabetically.
Author notes
First of all, the comma in line 9 isn't a mistake...it was intentional...
Secondly, I hope it's okay that I entered this before officially being accepted...if I don't get in, just let me know and I'll remove this entry.
Lastly, I chose number 1. I was also cliche and used "I love you" for it, but those words can just carry so many underlying messages, so I hope I did the words justice...
Thanks for hosting this contest 
I've been trying to write something about this person for a few days, and I guess I just needed the inspiration (the event I wrote about isn't until tomorrow though, lol).

Well, I didn't take your advice...I didn't even say anything to him...Part of me was hoping he wouldn't even know I was there, and part of me wanted him to know that I was there to support him...and I think he DID see me...but I didn't actually go up and congratulate him or anything...and I definitely wish I would have at least said something...
but I wouldn't have been able to tell him my feelings, because they are DEFINITELY unrequited...
Anyway, thanks for the quick comment, and I'm glad you liked it
