Like That.


Watch me bloom and cry and grow
I’ll take nothing from you but the love you so wish to show.

Many have used you for their own selfish needs
What I offer you, I say, all other offers it exceeds.

I mean not to push myself unto you
Nor do I want you, in the end, to wish your love you had withdrew.

You give up too easily, and I’m a stubborn young fool
I think we could easily bypass society’s harsh rule.

Constantly, to myself, I say;
With my love, I’ll surely make him see one day!

Yet, that may not be true, I see your life has no room for me,
How could it ever be?

It breaks my heart to write words I’ve wished weren’t so
But that’s what answer my heart has always been given… “No.”

All I wanted was to wake up every day and sing to you,
Ha. I’m an idiot, I’ve lost my mind, I’m your only fool.

My unrequited lover, I give you my all
I didn’t mean for you to know that I would fall.

Your heart I can’t have, for I want more from it than you wish to give
I just wish that, my heart, you’ll someday forgive.

I keep crying over you and the love you refuse to show, you know…
Maybe you’d prefer it if I just shut up, and go.

I apologize for everything,
Today I give you my all, but I shall ask for nothing.

    This has such a sadness to it. But, there is one thing I have come to understand over the years -- we gain more from loving than from being loved. When we love, we are the best we can be and every time we love, even when it is not returned, we become more than we were.

    That having been said, it is also very rewarding to have that love returned and to look into someone's eyes and see only yourself reflected there.

    This is a nice write.
