I adore you, but you do not adore me.
a harsh fact that is difficult to see.
My heart aches, and my spirit sobs.
As I observe you through the eyes of another,
I fantasize about true love.
But you’re not feeling the same way about me.
I attempt to forget and go on.
But my heart won’t let me, at least not yet.
I crave your touch and your tender kiss.
But it’s all for naught—a futile yearning.
I realize I should let go and set you free.
But my heart will not listen to me.
I’ll keep my affection hidden deep within myself.
And look on with bittersweet joy from afar.
I’ll appreciate the brief moments we shared.
and guard the affection I have for you with your life.
One-sided love, a harrowing truth
But I’ll cling to my carefree youth.
Maybe you’ll see me again someday.
and my love for you will finally be realized.
