• Out the window,
    I watch the rain fall.
    It reminds me of my own unshed tears…
    I can hear it, tapping softly,
    And it reminds me of my unrequited love…

    I close my eyes.

    In my mind, I see him,
    Him that I love so much:
    The eyes that captivate me so;
    The smile that I can’t help but return;
    The way his hair falls in his eyes.
    And whenever I see him,
    I can’t help the warm feeling that floods my body,
    He is just so amazing.

    Does he know the power he has over me?
    Sometimes I think he must
    Because when he looks at me,
    When he turns that smile on me,
    No one else in the worlds exists
    But him

    His laugh,
    His touch,
    Sends electricity through my veins
    It makes my heart race,
    And my mind freeze.
    My breathing speeds up
    And the world slows.

    But then I hear the rain,
    Softly tapping…

    He loves someone else.

    And I know
    Because he told me himself.
    He pointed her out
    And blushed slightly as he gushed over how amazing she is.
    He told me he loved her
    And that when he got the courage,
    He would ask her out.

    He told me because I am a friend:
    One of his best friends,
    And I don’t have the courage to tell him
    How I truly feel.

    I am a coward.
    I am selfish,
    And I want him all to myself.

    But his heart belongs to another,
    Just as mine belongs to him.

    I open my eyes.

    Outside, the rain is falling.
    Gently, I hear it tapping
    And I realize, it’s not the only thing falling.
    Down my face slip the tears
    Of unrequited love.
