Love Me Not

In this world of hopeless dreams

I happened to find you

I’ve liked you from the beginning

I felt it was something true

Day after day I wonder

‘Does he notice or even care?’

And day after day I noticed

You weren’t ever there

I tried to wait and bide the time

Thinking that maybe before long

You would feel the love

And things would move along

After a while nothing changed

I realized it might always stay the same

…unless I made a move

And quit playing the ‘friends only’ game

I began dropping you small hints

Then pouring out my soul

And the way you’d always smile

Would make me lose control

I couldn’t stand idly any longer

I had to act soon

I’d make my feeling known to you

If it were the last thing I were to do

I was only going to tell you

That to be with you was my only wish

But instead of words…

I gave you my first kiss

You pulled back and broke my heart

I refused to shed a tear

I apologized and walked away

You reaction made your feelings clear

I made it home and to my room

Where I hoped to die and hoped you forgot

But I never get that lucky…

And still, you will always love me…not
