Misguided
I see you and I smileButterflies flitter through my stomach
Trying desperately to escape from my mouth.
Trying to get me to say what I want
But I never will.
My heart beats wildly in my chest
Trying to get to you
Pleading with you to take it
And in return give me yours
But I know it will never happen.
You are too good for me
And no matter how many people
Say "No, you are too good for him, blah blah blah"
I know the truth
I am inferior to you in every way
It can never work.
And so I will let you go
I will erase my feelings for you.
I will let you live your life
free of me
I will not send you messages
I will not look for you after class.
I will not hope for something that will never exist
You are the first guy that I have ever truly liked
You are someone who I trust completely
I tease you and mock you in a ploy to get you to
Pay attention to me
But it only makes me into the bitch that I am known as
I love you
I have had these words said to me before
And I have said them to people
But never have I meant them
They were forced.
But I can now say with completely
Honesty
That
I Love You
Funny how the one person who I can honestly admit to loving
Is the one person I can't have
I know that the road ahead is hard
Forgetting love is painful
But I will move on
As time passes you will move from my mind
And while I may miss you from time to time
I know that it is not meant to be.
I love you but you will never be mine.
