Feelings Unrequited

What am I, if I am nothing to you?
With weary eyes and a broken heart
I watch you…
as your eyes never stray from hers.
The one who is pure with innocence and laughter,
with a quiet strength and simple demeanor
that can take your breath away…
Why?
Why can't I bestow those feelings on you?
Am I not good enough?
My heart hurts when I think of the way
you feel for her;
the same way I feel for you.
I wish for the day that will never come, I fear…
the day when you would leave her
and come to my side instead.
The day when you would whisper those
three simple words that would make us
"more than friends."

I love you.
