She'll Never Know
She'll never know that when she smiles, my heartbeat quickens, my hands become just a bit clammy, and my mind runs in a million different directions.
She'll never know that the way she walks sparks hope within everyone that she passes, the way she keeps her head high, brimming with confidence.
She'll never know how beautiful she is, despite the constant compliments and confirmations, she'll always deny such things.
She'll never know how much I missed her all of those years she was gone.
She'll never know how much more I cared that she was back, not Natsu.
She'll never know how much I idolized her as a child, not just Natsu.
She'll never know that I tried my best to be like her, but then realized that I could never replace her.
She'll never know how many nights I've spent thinking of her, even though I know we could never be anything more.
She'll never know that she inspires me to be a better mage, a better member of fairy tail, a better person.
She'll never know how many hours I spent on that dock, thinking about her as if she were sitting right next to me.
She'll never know that she had so many admirers from all across Fiore.
She'll never know that she is one of the best role models for the new generation.
She'll never know how much influence she has on everyone else.
She'll never know if someone were to have feelings for her for so many years.
She'll never know that a lone little boy had his heart crushed to pieces so many years ago.
She'll never know how many girl's I've rejected because I didn't want to betray her.
She'll never know how much training I had put in just to be a fraction as good as her.
She'll never know how much I loved her.
And she'll never know if someone so insignificant died, all for her sake.
I hope she'll never find out.
