And Maybe...

And maybe you don't love me like I love you.
You don't think of me as much as I do.
You don't try to seek me out like I do you.
The thought has never crossed your mind.
And that's perfectly fine.
I'll survive
Forever chasing you,
Yearning for your love I'll never have.

Hate

I hate you. Rather, I abhor every inch of your presence. Your smile, laugh, sighs - everything. Every bit of you is intoxicating, and I'm the fool who gets drunk. Once you're gone I'm left drowning in my own self-pity and begging for you to return. I'm pathetic when you're around, and a desperate fool when you aren't around.

Although I say I hate you, doesn't this just sound like the complete opposite?

Flicker

For we're all waiting for that one person to look our way.
Although sometimes, they never do.
Sometimes... Their head remains turned
In the opposite direction,
Refusing to budge.
And just when you feel
As if you finally have a chance,
You realize the thing that made them
Turn around wasn't you,
But another person - the one who caught their eye.
And not a single thing can be done.

What Could Have Been

{3 years wasted, 3 years gone.}

What could have been
We'll never know
In this world we call our own.
Just for now
Please wait
As the seasons turn to grey.
Once the leaves
Are fully changed
Our mistakes will be erased.
For the past
Is the past
And time will change everything
Back to normal.

Just for now
Don't forget
The feelings we have faced
In this world
We call our own
What could have been
We'll never know.

Fallen Leaves

The past is the past
And the present is now.
Our friendship no longer lives in the current,
For you have gone farther ahead.
Just like the fallen leaves of autumn,
I was left behind in the chilling air.

Maddening

{I was skyping with a friend last night, and we ended up telling each other about our love lives. LOL.}

Our breathes joined together
Forming that one perfect moment
When our souls combined.
We spoke our feelings
Going hours on end
About our love
For another.
It was maddening to know
That the ones we loved
Would never look our way.
