Unrequited Love
"Hello" was the first word you utter,
'Twas the day when we started getting to know each other.
But one day I heard you saying "I really like her,"
And I was secretly wishing that I was the girl.
You were very kind and so trustworthy,
You made a lot of effort to make me happy.
You were like a hero in a story,
You made my heart flutter every time you were with me.
And then one time you told me you had a surprise,
I was so excited but I was in disguise.
You even told me to close my eyes,
You were with someone and it was too late for me to realize.
I smiled and acted like nothing was wrong,
'Twas called putting my pain aside and being strong.
I was loving you so much for so long,
And I thought you loved me too like your favorite song.
Maybe it was right to put the blame on me,
I fell in love with you and I assumed totally.
I wanted to cry and to run so far away,
When the truth hit me that there was never you and me.
