Who Do I Have To Be

Eyes
Searching fervently for someone.
Smile
That could outshine the sun.

Realization
Cascading like a landslide
Admirer
Heart breaking inside.

Laughter
For someone who's not me.
Heartbreak
Painful as it can be.

Yearning
That you'd someday realize.
Wishing
My love you'd recognize.

Tears
Brimming yet choked back.
Lover
Who's presence lacked.

Who do I have to be
For you to notice me?
