• I want you to know

    I want to ignore what I feel to spare you.
    I want to see you happy even if it means I cant be.
    I want to see you smile even if I never will.

    We both love him but I’d rather him love you not me.
    We both adore him but I’d rather him adore you not me.
    We both want him but I’d rather him want you not me.

    I hate how it tears you apart.
    I hate how you cried when you found out.
    I hate how you loved him but he didn’t love you.

    I wish this never happened.
    I wish that I could stand on the sidelines and watch your love bloom.
    I wish my eyes weren’t opened to how I feel.

    Now that it’s done we can’t do anything.
    Now that we see it can’t be erased.
    Now that we know it can’t be forgotten.

    I want to be with him but only if you let me.
    I want to love him but only if you let me.
    I want to be happy with him but only if you let me.

    I won’t hate you if you say no.
    I won’t leave you if you say no.
    I won’t betray you if you say no.

    You need to know I love you.
    You need to know I care for you.
    You need to know I’ll always be there for you.
