Poem

The heart beats with a longing ache

For someone who will never be mine

A one-sided crush, a love mistake

A feeling that refuses to decline

I see you smile and my heart skips a beat

But you don't know how I feel inside

I wish I could tell you, but I retreat

And keep my feelings locked up, deep inside

I dream of the day when you'll feel the same

And we could be together, hand in hand

But until then, I'll keep playing this game

Of hiding my love, and pretending to understand

The longing for you consumes my soul

A fire that burns with a constant flame

But I know I'll never be made whole

Until my heart can finally let go of your name

So here I am, still longing for you

Hoping that one day, you'll see me anew

But until then, I'll keep holding on

To this one-sided crush, until it's gone.
