An Ode to Unrequited Love
Maybe I should start on the effect that you have on my skin Or how you make me feel like I’m on display in a galleria Where to begin, I have not the slightest idea I noticed you first in my chemistry class Right then and there I knew I had hit an impasse Since then I’ve continued to fall headfirst In my chemistry class I noticed you first Everything about you coaxed itself in like an unwanted guest Like the way you would sigh when taking a hard test Or your unexpected glances that made me wonder what lies within Like an unwanted guest, everything about you coaxed itself in At the beginning it wasn’t more than a feeling A feeling that I had no intention of revealing It wasn’t until later that that feeling started winning It wasn’t more than a feeling at the beginning Things have changed. I am now completely addicted And there is no song, book, or movie in which you are not depicted Most days I no longer feel sane but rather deranged I am now completely addicted. Things have changed. By no means have you ever given me a reason to hope But with this feeling I can no longer cope I can’t help but wonder what could be A reason to hope, by no means have you ever given me I am free now that you officially know. A breath of fresh air I will take, and accept that you I will have to forgo To this I attest, no matter how hard it may be Now that you officially know; I am free. |
