somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be found
When I say I love you, What I really mean to say is that I'm completely crazy for you. When I say I love you, I hope you don't hear my voice breaking as I await the automatic response. When I say I love you, I don't mean it as a joke two girls would make to call attention to themselves. Like clockwork, I'll tell you, a million times, infinitely, and again once more. Because, I know that if I don't tell you a million times over, infinitely, and again once more, I'll lose you. You, that star I watch every night, in admiration, but knowing If I choose not to prove my dedication, this unbalanced love may just fizz out and away.

When I say I love you
I regret that I ever told you. Even from the first second the words slipped from my lips to your ears I knew it was a mistake. You begged for me to give in, to tell you what it is I was keeping from you, but you never really understood that secrets were not meant to be told. And even when I did, You were still not satisfied. You kept pinching and stretching my heart to its brink. "I gave you my life, This is what you repay me with?" And all of a sudden, You clench my hand a little tighter and I don't know if you are upset, or protective of the innocent girl you thought you had lost. You guilt-trip me into a place I know I don't belong, but it feels like I'm now living in a home where the walls are slowly closing in on me, and all youth and innocence I had always known is finally lost.

my final secret
I swear I don't think about you the moment I rise from my sheets and drag myself to the bathroom, and fix my hair for no one in particular. I still find laundry boring, and why would I be humming love songs as I fold that one sky blue shirt that most definitely does not remind me of your eyes? Every task almost seems like waves crashing down upon me nowadays. But then I imagine your face, oh god, your smile, and I swear, it makes me want to fly through those waters to find you. I can't promise that I'm not obsessed, and I can't promise that I wouldn't sob for days if you were to leave me. But, I can tell you that there is always, always, a table reserved, just for us, in my heart.

obsessed
They’re so pretty, It hurts. I’m not talking about boys, I’m talking about… I don’t know who I like. I don’t know what I am, and I don't think I ever will. I don’t want a label forcing me to conform into one group. I want to fit in. I’m normal. But in which way? I don’t know what to do. It’s not like I get to choose Who I love… Don't make me choose between him or her. Maybe I like both. But I guess I chose you. That’s normal.

girls
I don’t know if you're the reason why I hate her. Spilling all of your secrets "by accident", just to make me envy and loathe what it is that you tell her and never me. I could care less about what it is that she speaks about. I just can't seem to understand why she's telling me, when I always thought that was your job. Should I even try to convince myself that there is a reason as to why I'm not the one you trust? Or do I already know it by heart? Maybe, It is because of this very poem. Maybe, if you find it, you will feel sorry for me. Or. You will just think I am a self-pitying human, who only cares about her(self). Maybe you would be right. You would probably be right.

your (best) friend
I wonder How you do it. You have that magical way Of making me feel wanted. I love that about you. I wish you would talk more About yourself. (Yes, some already talk A bit too much about themselves… …but not you) Oh, my love, you would not Understand how intently I would listen. Tell me your dreams, your past loves, Your truth. I will listen.

more than small talk
Sometimes I wish that all of this was normal I wish that we could be like any other One of those fairy tale couples- Where the prince saves the princess And everyone cheers him on. He’s not embarrassed to love. Why is it that people would stare? Why would they care? Just because it is something different, Something new. No, No one would write a story about us. Would our fairy tale end up a tragedy? Would it end the same exact way as the original? No one would know, would they? They wouldn’t dare write about it, would they? Sometimes I long for the feel of your hand in mine; Giggling as I walk you to your next class, Making me late for mine, but I wouldn’t care. I wish that I wasn’t so afraid. But I know The consequence. There is no author telling me what to do this time

fairy tale
You love someone. You won’t tell me who. You told her instead. I tell myself that there’s only one reason You won’t tell me. Do I hope it’s true? After all, what would I do With all that love?

your love
The way it roars and tears through my stomach. The way it urges me to do something I'll be sure to regret. Just when I think I am the yours, Just when I am finally satisfied, That's when she decides to show her face. Always prettier, always smarter, Always on that ******* phone with you. And she knows it. It's intoxicating, really. This feeling. Perhaps it explains All those sleepless nights. Longing, Longing for the warmth of your arms again. Tossing, turning, crying, bawling, Convincing myself that You are telling the truth When you say that You love me. It's like I've always known That I was second-best. Like I'm waiting for a text that will never be sent, And a "sorry" without something for you to apologize for. It makes my head spin, Makes me want to crash to the floor in tears, reaching for your hands. Makes me want to scream like a toddler treated as just "entertainment". But most of all, It makes me feel like I'm losing To someone Who doesn't deserve you.

jealousy
I have many friends, But have never felt so lonely. I have a best friend, But no one’s best friend Is me. Oh... I beg for you to confide In me. Not the other one. She knows What she is doing. I have known you longer, I exclaim. Then why does she Love me more? She would reply. You care for me, But for her more. Why? I ask myself, Why am I never Enough? Why don’t you trust me? Why don’t I try harder? Why aren’t I happy where I am? Why am I second best?
