Love Letter
Love looks over imperfections.
It doesn't create more.
You're the greatest person I've ever met.
But you're stuck on her.
She broke your heart, I know.
Torn it out with her bare hands,
and threw it on the floor.
And yet you hold on.
I tell you how I feel.
You tell me to go.
Saddened but obediently,
I do.
Everyday I wake up.
Hoping today will be the day
you say you're coming to me.
I ache to talk to you.
It takes everything I have
to be patient.
To be obedient.
I know you deserve better.
But you love her.
The cruelest dream comes true.
Reality.
But know this.
I will forever wait.
I will forever watch for you.
And I will continue to hope for a change.
I will be obedient.
I will obey your wishes.
But know this.
Not loving you is harder than you know.
