Settling

My mind is telling me that I'm happy,
But my heart is telling me that I'm settling.
Settling for talking once a blue moon,
Settling for waving in the halls.

Why shouldn't I be happy for you?
Just because I'm left in the cold?
There's no reason to listen to my heart,
For it has no reason.

It might not mean not hurting,
But settling for second best,
Might be best for both of us.
Because my heart wants to take away from you.

And I will not steal,
That which is not mine,
I will not create love,
Nor will I in my mind.

This might not be the best solution,
But at least I'm in my place.
This might cause me pain,
But at least I'll see your face.
