Unrequited Affection

When often thinking of times past In accordance to her own place She recalled a heart broken young woman With longing her pain to erase Guys grow fond of her demeanor Going so far as to follow her around Yet without a doubt she controls her heart And departs them safe and sound She never strays from her values and ways From actions she continues to refrain And when boys spend time in her company For her, it is merely to entertain Childish ways once embedded naturally Inside her innocent mind Have soon dissipated into the land of dreams And reality she’s come to find So many times she’s feared the day When one young soul she shall meet He’ll speak foreign truth she’s never heard And sweep her off her feet Hesitant to become transparent She often hid her anticipation And did so well for the initial encounters Although with great frustration No one seemed to understand her like this one For in such a short amount of time She questioned what her motives were As her affection seemed to climb Attempts to stray from him failed miserably And in fact seemed to attract her more so Each departure she vowed was the last Yet her endearment continued to grow Left in a quandary She allows him to speak his peace She soon understands his wishes for them Are from each other to release Now, rational a thinker she may be She desires his wishes as well But something leads her to believe They both know this attempt will fail She’s scared to read too much into this In fear that feelings are unrequited For only God can deem what’s to be true And who shall be united So, idly she and her soul await For sign of returned desire Yet, until that day she will attempt no more And to her chambers simply retire
