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
