Laughing eyes, I watch you

Carefully from far away

Knowing that I'm the one you see right through

When you pass me in the hallway

Over my head, under my mind

And I get this crazy feeling

That "we" will never be defined

That this might not have been appealing

Vastly I searched, and for so long

But to what avail?

I thought maybe I could belong

But this seems like the end of this tale

Energy wasted? Aces played?

Hands dealt? Don't tell me I'm wrong

Or let this feeling fade

But I guess I knew it all along

Yet, still, I don't give in

This is a fight to the finish

And although I likely won't win

My spirit won't diminish

Outside I seem fine

And inside isn't different

Accepting the fact you'll never be mine

Never seemed so brilliant

Ultimately stunning

That's what you would see

If you could imagine what it would be like loving . . .

Me
