Okay

I've been trying.

 

Trying to be the kind of person she is.

Trying to be the kind of person I know he wants.

Trying to be the kind of person I thought he would love.

 

I saw her.

I met her.

 

I realized that I can never and will never be her.

I realized that I don't want to be her.

I realized that I won't be her.

 

Yes,

She has the one person I want.

She has the one person who makes me smile like no other person can.

She has the one person who makes me happy.

She has the one person I love.

 

But,

She isn't me,

And I'm not her.

 

Never will be,

Never want to be.

 

Yes,

He is the person I want.

He is the person who makes me smile.

He is the person who makes me happy.

He is the person I love.

 

But,

Seeing him happy makes me happy.

Seeing him smile makes me smile.

Seeing him in love makes me realize he loves her,

Not me.

 

Never will be,

Never will want to be.

 

Yes,

He is happy.

I'm in pain.

He is smiling.

I'm pretending to be.

 

But,

It's all okay.

 

Because he is happy.

And seeing him happy,

makes me happy.

Love the use of repetition. Keep it up.
