Unrequited Love
It’s hard to describe how deeply I’ve fallen in love.
The way I feel for you, I’ve never felt before.
It’s as if my heart is being guided from up above,
Telling my soul that you’re the one I’ve been looking for.
The first time we met, your eyes held such compassion.
I couldn’t help but notice how much you seemed to care.
For me, it wasn’t only physical attraction,
But the way your heart spoke and your willingness to share.
In the beginning, you said you just wanted to be friends.
You had many other things going on in your life.
You’d been burned before, and your heart needed time to mend.
You weren’t ready to rush into being someone’s wife.
I had always hoped that you would have grown to love me
And have the same feelings towards me that I had for you.
In my heart, I guess I knew it wasn’t meant to be.
The day you left, I knew there was nothing more I could do.
