This love

This man, this boy

has stolen my heart and destroyed it.

Crushed it with his beautiful hands and discarded it.

How can someone love at such a young age?

Well, I have loved,

and it has broken me, forever.

Never have I experienced a force

so strong, as that of pure longing for this boy.

A victim of unrequited love for three years,

I am tired of pretending

that it doesn't hurt, that it doesn't kill me inside.

For this love has gotten the better of me.

Oh! How can I go on,

knowing he doesn't feel the same?

Is it my face, my voice, my manner?

Why, does he kill me more every day

with just one curve of his mouth?

Will I ever love anyone as much as him?

This love tears me apart.

I die a little inside

every time I see him,

and that realization hits me.

He'll never be mine.

His heart is with another,

and mine with him.

Oh! Wish he could just realize...

That I love him, now and forever.
