Unrequited


There is a girl

With eyes so bright

You forget that they're brown

There is a girl

So full of laughter

You forget all she's been through

There is a girl

So changed, so different

I forget what she once was to me

Then I remember

How much I loved her

And how much it hurts

That she'll never love me

For love is love

But it is not a choice

And just as she cannot love me

I cannot stop loving her

So we will live

Facades in tact

For without her

I would be

Empty
