Unrequited Love

We were playfully hand in hand;
Cheak to cheak,
So our lips could finally meet.
Then his gentle words were ever so sweet,
Until silence fell eventually.
But the temperate silence was comforting
Because our words don’t even need to be spoken.
We communicated with our eyes
Where our souls are written.

But why did your lips press against mine?
Why did you take my hand?
Why did you caress my cheak?
Why did you say all the right words to me?
Why hold me closely and look me in the eye?
You played with my emotions… but why?

God tell me why he’s always on my mind!?
Why do I need someone to call me beautiful,
Just to make me feel significant?
Why place the fate of my happiness in the hands of a man
When men have juggled it before only to drop it.
Why must this feeling of infatuation appear again?
Its holding me hostage with feelings I can’t escape!
Most importantly what the hell is wrong with the human race?
We LOVE love so damn much!
When really love just seems to HATE us!

It fills us then blinds us
Penetrates us; destroying us
But we love it, we crave it
Perhaps… we need it
But I despise it, I don’t want it!
Yet it finds me time and time again.
This cycle of falling into and out of deep like...
Is never ending, yet painful and exhausting!

Because we were playfully hand in hand;
cheak to cheak.
His gentle words were ever so sweet
And still I’ll never mean...
Exactly what he means to me.
And yes it hurts!
But I’ll remain silent for in the silence I find comfort.
Yet still I’m sure he knows…
Because my thoughts don’t need to be spoken.
All answers are found when he looks in my eyes
Where my soul is written.
But although I want you, I don't need you.

I suppose its really myself I need to learn to love
& He knows I’m what he heartlessly disposed of
Oh the pain of unrequited love
