A while ago
you told me you just wanted to be friends,
and you know
that was hard to hear.
For, I had
so recently,
found you lying next to me
bodies undressed,
and emotions unveiled.
I was out there,
with every imperfection
left out
for the world to see.
I was out there
for you.
And as you tucked me back
in the cob-webbed closet
you keep near the outskirts of your heart.
my chest sank
further than it ever had before,
with slight concern it would never rise again.
After that,
my mind remained confused-
for best friends, we were,
but we still remained more than that.
Now here I sit,
in the corner of my room
With thoughts of you
bouncing off the corners of my mind
as I wait for you to call me back
telling me you’ve hung up with him,
and I was next on the list.
As you go on with how ‘dumb’ he is,
how the other one never fails to make you smile,
and how they annoyingly converse together
about the things you say.
I think…'how could I possibly stand a chance?'...
Then comes the night,
when our systems are full
Of what could very well be
an overdose
of emotion.
It’s there
where you let the words
“I love you”
linger near my collar bones
only to run to my ears
with hope that you mean it
half as much as i do.
And it’s then.
Right then.
When I ask myself, 'how could I not have a chance?'...
I then wake up
With the morning sun
And the deep breaths
Of your rising chest
And realize
I can have your body,
But I don’t know if I’ll ever have your heart.

Author notes
i really do love you baby.
and i just need to know what you're thinking.
if i don't stand a chance you have to let me know.
and if there is, then at least tell me.
i can wait forever if there's that chance,
but waste my time, i cannot.
What do you think? [[honesty is appreciated]]

You have something very real here. So often I have listened to my ex prattle on about her new boytoy yet she still says she loves me and she wants to sleep with me. I ask myself the same question "How could I not have a chance?" Or how could I possible stand a chance?" I alternate between the two of those constantly. A great write laced with real emotions and not some cookie cutter angst. I love it.

"bodies undressed,

and
"And as you tucked me back

holy vags.
This is amazing.
I hope everything for you goes well and the person you like will finally realize that there is a beautiful, amazing girl out there, waiting for him/her.
