Knowing What I Want
I fell faster than the seasons could change.
With every bone I tried to abandon
The feelings I had for someone that I cannot have
Wanting not to settle but feeling as if the choice is not mine to make
He is better than anyone else
I feel safe, happy, and warm in his embrace
I know who I want but it's the one I cannot have
All I want is to be happy except all I can do is put others first
Not knowing if he feels the same
Comes with the shame of the feelings I keep tucked inside.
We are meant for eachother but we put everyone first
Wrong place, wrong time? No, I see it as wanting someone to be yours even if it hurts you in the end
Wanting? No, needing to be with him and only him is the hurt I bear alone.
Will he ever feel the same? Or will he leave like the rest?
I don't want to find out, but I must in order to move on and settle into being happy.
