The Hardest Thing

The hardest thing

I’ve ever done

Was fall in love

With you.

 

I fell in love, and I fell hard.

I knew you didn’t love me back,

But I still fell for you.

I still love you.

 

I know you don’t care,

But I still think about you.

I know you are just my friend,

But I still dream about you.

 

I know you don’t care,

So I don’t push.

I know you don’t want me,

So I try to hide it.

 

I try to hide my love,

And just be your friend.

Happy in the fact

That you are still my friend.

 

But I cannot be.

I cannot smile

While you don’t care.

I cannot stop the tears.

 

Because the hardest thing

I have ever had to do,

Was falling in love

With you.

 

I cannot stop thinking

And dreaming of what could be

If only you saw me

As I see you.

 

I cannot force myself

To stop dreaming

Of a day

When you love me too.

 

This hope is what I hold onto,

This dream is my last.

I cannot let go,

I need this dream.

 

I need to hope

And dream of you.

I need to wish

And wonder.

 

Because the hardest thing

I have ever had to do

Was fall in love

With you.
