Two Kinds of Love
When I look at a mirror
It will look back at me
When I talk to my friends
They talk to me back
If I sing to a cave
It’ll sing back to me
Yet when I say I love you
Do you ever say it back?
In my dreams all I can dream of
Is of you
Your bedazzling eyes
Your perfect smile
How your hair can fall to the side
Yet still look perfect
But I doubt that I was ever once in your dreams
Or once in your mind
Sometimes at night
I’ll glance at my phone
Hoping for a message from you
Even a simple hello would do
To know you felt the same about me
The way I do about you
Sometimes I have the desire
To think that you’d look at me
The way I look at you
You bring joy to me
When you choose to notice me
Yet an even stronger feeling
Of sorrow overpowers that joy
As I realize I will never be yours
And you will never been mine
There’s two kinds of love
The kind where both love one another
And the other
Where only one loves
And the other doesn’t feel anything for her
Just as a friend
And even with the world as one
The stars don’t collide
The universe still as large as I can remember
We could never coexist because
You’d never look at me the way you look at her
I can dream for as long as I want
Wishing for a happy ever after
But when the sun rises and the truth sets in
There’s no future for us
