Walked in and saw your face, your lips parted in a smile almost too big for your face.
My heart skipped a beat as I felt the heat rush to my face
I try to hide a smile even though I’m just as happy to see you.
Just like I’m hiding feelings you couldn't possibly reciprocate
Sitting before you, I meet your green eyes; contacts that I sometimes believe are your own
You smile again and blow a kiss at me.
I’m surprised; I don’t believe I’ve ever received such a greeting from you
I don’t even know how to act, my heart caught in my throat
Maybe I thought wrong…
“I called him today”
I look up, your comment drawing a smile bigger I could never rouse on my own
Any comfort I took from the new light in your eyes, stolen from me
By him of course…
The smile disappears, replaced with the knowledge than I wasn’t the reason for your smile
And I find myself trying to ignore the ache building in my chest.
Silly me…
Your words dance around my head as we walk back to the room
I can’t grasp what you’re saying as you ramble on about him…
Again, I come to the conclusion that you can never love me the way you love him
Sure, I’m your girlfriend…but there can never be more than a title holding us together.
So I’m stuck trying to hide how much I really do care
Your heart belongs to him…in the end…I’m just there.

Just a poem, written solely to get these feelings off my chest, about my girlfriend. Its just me rambling, but lemme know what you think.
Did it suck?

girlfriends with boyfriends; love changes....
you expressed the love and sense of loss very well - same thing happened to my daughter when her best friend fell in love with a guy. like the lines: So I’m stuck "trying to hide how much I really do care
Your heart belongs to him…in the end…I’m just there."
- even though it is a different kinda love, and in the end, a girl always needs her bestie to share all her troubles and true feelings with - sometimes it gets a bit unbalanced when there is a new love, but it always comes back to besties in the end.

Of course, I mean she was my bestfriend before my girlfriend and in the end I will always take comfort in that. But its still a bit painful, it gets worse each day.
And its not like I cant stand the guy, he's cool. Shit, I have a boyfriend too, but its still painful, and I hate it ughhh lol
